Professional Fence & Wall Removal in Hawthorne, CA
Fence and wall removal spans a wide spectrum — from pulling out a rotted wood privacy fence with post-puller equipment to demolishing a six-foot masonry block wall with a skid steer or hydraulic breaker. The distinction matters because the equipment, labor, and disposal costs are different by a factor of three or four. C&S Demolition handles the full range: wood privacy fences, vinyl panel systems, chain-link with concrete footings, wrought iron, and masonry or concrete block walls including low-profile retaining walls that have outlived their usefulness or failed structurally.
Retaining wall removal in particular carries structural implications that homeowners frequently underestimate. A failing retaining wall has often been holding back soil load for years, and removing it without understanding the slope geometry and soil conditions can cause a rapid slope failure. If a wall is holding back soil, the owner's engineer decides how the grade is supported; C&S's bid covers the demolition, and shoring or slope support is not included.
Post footing removal is the most labor-intensive part of most fence removals: concrete footings for wooden or iron fence posts can run 24–36 inches deep, and each one needs to be excavated and removed to allow the new fence contractor to set new posts cleanly. Cost depends on fence length, material type, footing depth, and whether a masonry wall is involved. C&S gives a written lump-sum bid after seeing plans or photos. Most complete the same day. C&S hauls all debris and leaves the line clean and ready for your new fence installation.

Fence & Wall Removal in Hawthorne: Local Knowledge
Hawthorne is a dense South Bay city adjacent to LAX where much of the residential stock dates from the 1950s and 1960s — a building era when asbestos was a standard material in textured ceilings, floor adhesives, and insulation, and when lead paint was applied in nearly every home. Properties in Holly Glen, Bodger Park, the Ramona area, and across Downtown Hawthorne are regularly coming forward for renovation or redevelopment as the city's older housing ages out and land values near the airport corridor rise. C&S Demolition is California-licensed and insured, and we begin every Hawthorne project with a pre-demolition assessment coordinated with the City of Hawthorne Building Division at (310) 349-2970.
Our licensed demolition services in Hawthorne cover interior selective gut-outs for full-scale renovations, structural and load-bearing wall removal, whole-house teardowns for rebuild projects, commercial interior demolition for retail or office conversion, ADU-related garage demolition, and concrete and foundation removal. Some Hawthorne properties near the airport boundary sit in noise impact zones, a factor that affects rebuild planning but not the demolition permit process itself. Your written bid states which permits the job needs and who pulls them; permit fees are the owner's unless the bid says otherwise. C&S coordinates with the owner's or GC's licensed abatement contractor and the required survey and SCAQMD Rule 1403 notice; C&S does not perform abatement. Reach us at (562) 204-6335.
