What this job involved

Hauling away leftovers, not rebuilding the yard

The job was to remove old deck and fence debris from a customer's backyard in Columbia. The before photos show loose boards and larger dismantled sections lying among other items. The after photos show the areas those piles occupied once the debris had been hauled away.

This is a debris-removal example, not a deck-demolition or fence-installation project. The standing fence, boats and plants help show the same setting before and after. The result is less debris, not a completely cleared or landscaped yard.

Show us the pile—and the way out

You do not need to guess a truckload size to start a conversation. A description of the debris and the access route gives us a clearer starting point.

  • What needs to go: describe the materials and whether they are loose or still attached to a structure.
  • Where it is: tell us your town, whether the pile is behind the house, and about any gates, steps or narrow passages.
  • What stays: point out nearby items or materials you want left in place.

Photos of the whole pile and the access route can help when discussing the job. Do not dismantle a structure or move awkward debris just to take a picture. Tell us about it first.
