Mike from Cowboy Site Service removed a broken basketball hoop and old trampoline for me. He was very promp and professional. I highly recommend their services to everyone needed a clean up.
Cowboy Site Services tears down sheds, decks, playsets and above-ground pools in Wylie and hauls every piece away on the same trip. Demolition is quoted per job once we see photos, and playsets start from $515. Wylie is about 25 minutes from our base in McKinney.
Backyards out toward Lake Lavon
Out toward the lake, Wylie's newer neighborhoods send us a steady run of playsets and trampolines. Kids grow up, wood weathers, and the yard wants its grass back.
We unbolt them, load them and leave the spot clear. Playset and trampoline removal pairs easily with a shed teardown on one visit. Rubber mulch or border timbers around a playset can go too, if you ask.
Lake gear that stopped being worth storing can go out on the same load. So can the broken patio furniture that usually sits next to it.
Sheds and decks: how big, and how attached?
Wylie requires a permit for accessory buildings and storage sheds. Its building rules also scale with size, calling for beams on mid-size buildings and an engineered foundation on big ones.
That sizing matters for teardown too. A kit shed on skids is light work for our shed removal service, contents included.
A large building on an engineered foundation may be past light demolition. We'll tell you plainly from the photos.
Wylie requires a permit for decks, the same as for sheds. If yours is coming out, ask the city about the removal, then send us photos.
Our deck removal service takes up the boards, joists and posts and hauls them off. Any pad underneath stays unless you ask us to quote it.
Composite decks and pressure-treated wood both come apart the same way. Tell us which you have, since it changes how the load stacks.
Taking down an above-ground pool in Wylie
Wylie's permit list includes demolition of a pool, alongside buildings and structures. Check with the city on your above-ground pool before we put it on the calendar.
For above-ground pool removal, we cut the liner, take down the wall and frame, and haul everything off. We only take down above-ground pools.
What about older homes near downtown?
Near historic downtown Wylie, the older houses lean toward estate work and attics more than tear-outs. When a remodel does start there, keep in mind the city's permit list says it isn't all-inclusive.
Detached garages there have been filling up for decades. We can clear one out ahead of a remodel, though we don't tear down garages.
Any project that alters, demolishes or replaces part of a building is worth a call to the city first.
Where a city requires a permit, it's usually pulled by the general contractor or the homeowner. If one is needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually pull it ourselves for an added fee that varies by city.
How Wylie backyard tear-outs are priced
Backyard tear-outs are quoted per job, never from a flat rate. A small garden shed and a large wood shed with a floor aren't the same work.
Send photos from the street side and the back fence, and note any slope. We'll give an honest estimate, then confirm a firm price on site before taking anything apart.

The city decides what needs a permit, and Wylie's projects requiring permits page is the place to start. What the city doesn't do is carry the pieces off. Our light demolition crew takes it down and hauls it out of your Wylie yard in one visit.
If a slab sits under the old shed or pool, note that Wylie's list puts most concrete work under a permit. We can break out and haul a small pad, and your contractor handles any pour after. Our permits guide covers the wider area.
Light Demolition in Wylie: questions
Can you remove a trampoline and a swing set in Wylie on one trip?
Yes, and a shed too if the trailer has room. We take each one apart and load it. Send photos of everything so one quote covers it all.
Is a big metal building in Wylie too much for you?
It depends on size and what it sits on. Kit sheds and small wood buildings are our kind of work. Anything on an engineered foundation, or anything needing heavy equipment, is not.
Can you take the lake gear stored in the shed too?
Yes. Old coolers, paddles and similar gear ride out with the shed. Fuel and oil have to stay behind.
