Yard Placement Process Overview

Wondering what the yard placement process is really like?

Most coops are moved with a motorized Mule that can pivot in tight spaces; some sites require a forklift. We need a clear path that’s at least 2 ft wider than the coop’s widest point, plus extra room for turns.

You must remove any fence panels, posts, or gates before delivery day—our crews don’t perform fence removal. Take exact measurements of the narrowest openings (gates, between house/fence, side yards) and list them on your Yard Placement Agreement Form, along with height clearances (eaves, branches, wires). Tell us about tight corners, S-curves, slopes, soft ground, and steep driveways.

 

Final yard placement price depends on your county/state, the equipment needed (motorized Mule or forklift), on-site distance, and overall difficulty. We use transparent pricing—you’ll know your total before you purchase, unless obstacles or barriers weren’t disclosed. 

What we need from you: complete the Yard Placement Agreement Form with exact measurements and current photos of the entire route and final spot. Disclose fencing, gates (and their widths after removal), low branches, power lines, sprinklers/underground utilities (please mark them), retaining walls, AC units, septic lids, or anything else that narrows or blocks the path. Our yard-placement partner will review your info, approve the move, and confirm the equipment needed. Any changes to the plan/address require advance approval and may affect cost and schedule.
