Dog Kennel Removal in Indianapolis: Brush Clearing, River Rock Removal & Full Backyard Cleanup by Schott Services
At Schott Services, we specialize in backyard demolition, dog kennel removal, and brush clearing services in Indianapolis. Whether the job is big, small, simple, or complicated, we’re built for it—and today’s project is the perfect example. This removal job had every challenge you can imagine: overgrown vegetation, hidden debris, river rock excavation, and a full demolition of an old dog kennel that had been taken over by nature.
If you enjoy transformation stories—and want to see what professional removal services can achieve—this project is a fantastic showcase.
Returning to a Familiar Indianapolis Property
If you’ve followed our videos before, today’s location might look familiar. This is the same property where we previously completed a swimming pool removal and full yard restoration. The pool sat awkwardly near the driveway and didn’t fit the homeowner’s needs. After removing the pool, we graded the area and planted new grass.
In today’s job, you can see how beautifully that grass has filled in. It's always rewarding to return and witness the long-term results of our work.
Taking on an Overgrown Dog Kennel Removal
At the back of the property sat an old, unused dog kennel buried in brush, weeds, saplings, and several inches of river rock. What started as a typical removal quickly turned into a problem-solving mission—the type of challenge we love tackling at Schott Services.
Why Old Dog Kennels Become Problem Areas
Dog kennels made with mesh fencing often turn into magnets for overgrowth. The openings in the wire mesh make it easy for vegetation to grow through, around, and even inside the structure. Over time, this leads to:
Thick vines wrapping around the fence
Saplings rooting at the base
Brush and weeds interlocking with the fencing
Buried debris that hides in the growth
For many homeowners, this becomes overwhelming and nearly impossible to remove without help.
Step One: Brush Clearing and Exposing the Dog Kennel
Before we can remove the dog kennel, we must expose it safely. Using chainsaws, trimmers, and specialized equipment, we cut away the brush layer by layer. Once the vegetation is cleared, we use a cutoff saw to cut down the wire fence panel by panel.
With the fencing detached, we bring in the mini skid steer and root grapple—the real workhorses for backyard demolition and brush removal.
Step Two: Hauling Brush, Fencing & Debris With the Root Grapple
A root grapple allows us to grab massive piles of:
Brush
Weeds
Branches
Saplings
Fencing
Roots
Because this Indianapolis homeowner maintains a beautiful yard, we protect the grass by laying down plywood sheets to prevent ruts and damage during skid steer travel. This is a standard part of how we operate—protecting property at every step.
Load by load, we hauled everything away until the dog kennel site was fully exposed.
Hidden Surprise: River Rock Under the Dog Kennel
Once cleared, we uncovered several cubic yards of river rock buried underneath the kennel. This wasn’t visible when we originally quoted the job, but at Schott Services, we believe in honest pricing and fair service. The customer had already paid, and we were not about to charge extra.
Instead, we switched tools, grabbed the bucket attachment, and began scooping out the rock—bucketful by bucketful.
Removing river rock is heavy, time-consuming, and requires machinery, but it’s part of doing the job right.
Why Professional Dog Kennel Removal Is Worth It
Homeowners sometimes wonder whether they can remove a dog kennel themselves. In many cases, the answer is no—especially when the structure is overgrown or surrounded by hidden debris.
Professional removal is safer and faster because:
1. Overgrown vegetation hides hazards
Sharp fencing, stakes, and buried metal can be dangerous.
2. Mesh fencing is difficult to cut and detach
It becomes entangled with vegetation and requires tools most homeowners don’t have.
3. Heavy materials require machinery
Brush, fence panels, and river rock cannot be moved by hand.
4. Protecting your yard takes expertise
Without plywood paths and proper techniques, machinery can destroy your lawn.
5. Disposal is a major challenge
Transporting and disposing of debris requires trucks, equipment, and experience.
For Indianapolis homeowners, hiring Schott Services means the job is done efficiently, safely, and with no property damage.
