Professional Fence & Wall Removal in Malibu, 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. C&S evaluates the site before wall demo begins, confirms that the removal sequence won't destabilize adjacent grades, and advises on temporary slope management when needed. This is not a scope for an unlicensed operator with a pickup truck.
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. Projects range from $400–$2,500 depending on fence length, material type, footing depth, and whether a masonry wall is involved. 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 Malibu: Local Knowledge
Demolition work in Malibu demands a higher degree of pre-planning than almost anywhere else in Los Angeles County. The city sits in a very high fire hazard severity zone, which means every demolition project — from a hillside structure teardown to a foundation removal along Pacific Coast Highway — requires fire department clearance before work begins. On top of that, Malibu Colony, Point Dume, Latigo Canyon, and nearly every coastal-adjacent parcel fall within the California Coastal Commission's jurisdiction, adding a second layer of review that can extend permit timelines significantly. The City of Malibu Building & Safety at (310) 456-2489 coordinates both processes, and working with a contractor unfamiliar with dual-agency permitting often causes costly delays.
C&S Demolition serves Malibu as a California-licensed and insured contractor (Lic. #1126325), experienced with the structural and commercial demolition scope that requires a credentialed team: whole-house teardowns on steep coastal lots, selective interior demo in older PCH-corridor structures, and commercial or mixed-use demolition ahead of renovation. We coordinate directly with the city and relevant agencies on permit handling so owners and developers don't have to navigate that process alone. Projects here require advance scheduling from our Long Beach base — reach out at (562) 204-6335 to plan accordingly.
