Playset & Playhouse Demolition in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI
Backyard structure demolition, disposal, and shed cleanout/organization for a Grosse Pointe Woods property.
Backyard structures cleared and shed organized.
In May 2026, a homeowner in Grosse Pointe Woods hired Demohaulic to clear several aging outdoor structures from their backyard and help reclaim the space. The project included demolition and removal of a large wooden playset, a children's wooden playhouse, and a separate covered wooden swing structure. We also helped the homeowner go through items stored in the shed, disposed of the unwanted material, and reorganized the items they wanted to keep.

Backyard Structure Demolition
The backyard contained several large wooden structures that had to be taken apart before they could be removed from the property. Demohaulic demolished:
- Large wooden children's playset
- Climbing wall and attached play components
- Children's wooden playhouse
- Covered wooden swing structure
- Associated wood, hardware, roofing material, and miscellaneous debris
The structures were broken down into manageable sections so the material could be removed from the backyard and disposed of.
Playhouse Demolition & A Small Detail Worth Saving
During demolition of the children's playhouse, we noticed one decorative piece that gave the structure some character. Instead of automatically throwing it away with the rest of the debris, we asked the homeowner if she would like us to save it. She did. We repurposed the piece by mounting it onto her shed, allowing a small part of the old playhouse to remain in the backyard even after the structure itself was removed. It's a small detail, but it's part of how we approach demolition: remove what needs to go without treating everything on the property like garbage.
Shed Cleanout & Organization
The project wasn't limited to demolition. The homeowner also had a number of unwanted items inside the shed. We helped sort through the contents, removed what she wanted disposed of, and reorganized the items that were staying. This allowed us to handle several backyard cleanup needs during the same visit rather than leaving the homeowner with another cleanup project after the structures were gone.

The Result
By the end of the project, the playset, playhouse, and covered swing structure had been removed and the demolition debris hauled away. The backyard was left with considerably more open space, while the homeowner's remaining outdoor structure and belongings stayed in place.
