What Affects Fence Removal Cost?
Not every job is the same.
Fence removal prices can vary even for the same type of fence.
The main factors include:
- Narrow or difficult access can make removal slower.
- Disposal fees, such as skip bin costs or making multiple dump trips.
- Hidden concrete foundations or any hidden extras.
- Fence height (Cost varies between a 2.1m and a 1m high fence).
- Safety hazards that make the job more dangerous.
- Whether posts need to be taken right out of the ground or not.
If the job is more difficult than a standard removal, it will be reflected in the final price.

Colorbond Fence Removal Costs
Colorbond fences are quick to take down, but the posts are where most of the work is.
Cutting the posts off at ground level is easy.
If they need to be fully removed, it will take a bit more time.
- $25–$50 per metre (standard removal)
- $40–$80 per metre (full post removal)
Timber/Wood Fence Removal Costs
Timber fences are usually quicker and cheaper to remove.
The pickets come apart easily, and posts are often not heavily concreted.
- $20–$40 per metre
Extra costs may apply if vegetation needs clearing along the fence line.
Brush Fence Removal Costs
Brush fences are one of the hardest types to remove.
They’re heavy, messy, and difficult to handle, which is why removal costs more.
- $75–$100 per metre
This rate covers removing the brush fencing itself.
If the concrete footings need to be cut out and removed, that’s an additional cost.
Real Job Example: Brush Fence Removal in Golden Grove (40m)
We removed a 40-metre brush fence in Golden Grove to make way for a new Colorbond Post & Rail fence.
The site was sloped, and all material had to be handled and loaded by hand. Two skip bins were required for disposal.
Final cost: $3,000 total (roughly $75 per metre), which sits within the typical range for brush fence removal.

Chain Link Fence Removal Costs
Chain link fencing is usually the easiest type to remove.
The mesh can be rolled up, and posts are spaced further apart, making the process faster.
- $30–$70 per metre
Costs may increase if there’s barbed wire or additional security features attached.
