In-Ground Goals
The common one, and the real job
Pole, backboard and the concrete footing underneath it.

Cut it off, or dig it out
This is the whole job in one choice, and it is much better made in advance than standing in the driveway with a pole already on the trailer.
Cut below grade
The concrete stays, out of sight
The pole is cut and the footing taken down below the surface, then backfilled so the drive can be patched or the lawn made good over it. Quicker, cheaper, and completely fine if nothing is going to be dug or built on that spot.
Right for most people who are simply tired of the goal.
Dig it out
Nothing left in the ground
The whole block comes out. It is a bigger hole to fill and more weight to take away, but there is nothing buried for the next owner, the next contractor or the next project to meet unexpectedly.
Right if you are resurfacing, selling, or building on it.

- Footing size
- An in-ground pole commonly sits in a block of concrete two to three feet deep.

🔶 PLACEHOLDER: Crown does not publish a price for this job. It was named by Crown as work they want and has never had a page. The nearest published figure is fence and gate removal at $200 to $1,200+, which shares the post-in-concrete problem but is not the same job and should not be presented as it.

The questions we get asked
Answered properly rather than deflected to a phone call.
Not sure it’s this job?
Send two or three photos. If it is really a different service we will say so and point you at the right page. It costs you nothing either way.
Send photos insteadWill I be left with a hole in my driveway?
Not if the decision gets made before we arrive, which is the entire point of asking about it up front. An in-ground pole sits in a block of concrete commonly two to three feet deep, and there are two honest endings: cut it off below grade and backfill so the surface can be patched or turfed over, or dig the whole block out, which leaves a bigger void to fill but nothing buried. Neither is wrong. Which one you want depends on whether the drive is being resurfaced, the lawn reseeded, or something built on the spot.
Can you take a portable goal?
Yes, and it is the simplest version of this job: the base is drained if it is water-filled, and the whole unit goes on the truck. Worth knowing that a filled portable base is extremely heavy and awkward for two people to shift, which is usually why it is still sitting where it is.
What about one bolted to the garage?
Also yes. It comes off the wall or the fascia and leaves with everything else. What it leaves behind is a set of fixings and usually some marking to the surface, which is making-good rather than demolition. We will show you what is there rather than leave you to find it.
Why is this on a demolition company’s website?
Because it is a demolition job wearing a small hat. The pole is trivial; the concrete footing is the same problem as a fence post or a shed pad, which is what we do all week. It is also very often not the only thing on the list: a goal coming out usually means a driveway, a fence or a yard project behind it, and quoting those together is cheaper than quoting them separately.
Which areas do you serve?
Lexington and the surrounding counties: Lexington, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Frankfort, Winchester, Versailles and Paris. This one is nearly always worth combining with something else if you have other work in mind, because a single goal is a short visit.
