Local move details

Graham Hill Road and Highway 9 into Felton

When we move folks in Felton, we roll in on Graham Hill Road or Mount Hermon Road. Those are the two ways a truck gets there. We plan the day around traffic, because Roaring Camp and the covered bridge can make weekends a real workout. If we're headed along Highway 9, we ask you to check with your landlord about truck parking, stairs, or a shared drive. We also check QuickMap before loading, since Caltrans had lane closures in early 2026. With a little heads up, the move itself is a breeze.

  • Roaring Camp's steam railroad and the 1892 Felton Covered Bridge sit near the Graham Hill Road end of town, so allow extra time on weekends.
  • Caltrans worked on Highway 9 in Felton in early 2026 (sidewalks, curb ramps, retaining walls) with lane closures. Check QuickMap for current traffic control before a move day.
  • For apartments and cottages along Highway 9, ask the landlord where a truck can stop and whether stairs or a shared drive are involved.

Local MovingA local move still depends on parking, access, timing, and room order. Share the plan for both addresses so the estimate reflects the move you actually need.Furniture MovingFurniture moving starts with dimensions, access, and final placement. List the pieces, measure tight clearances, and note anything that needs to come apart before it leaves the room.Packing & UnpackingGood packing begins with deciding what is moving, what needs special care, and what you will need first after arrival. A room-by-room list keeps those choices visible.House MovingA house move reaches beyond bedrooms and living spaces. Garages, patios, storage areas, stairs, and driveway access should all be part of the same plan.Residential MovingEvery residential move has its own access rules and priorities. Build the plan around the property type, the inventory, and where each item belongs at the new address.Commercial MovingOffice, retail, and studio moves are planned around your working hours. We map desks, files, and equipment to the new floor plan so your team can get back to work quickly.Long Distance MovingA long distance move needs one plan that covers packing, loading, the drive, and delivery. We confirm the inventory, the timing, and access at the new home before moving day.Apartment MovingApartment moves depend on stairs, elevators, parking, and building rules. Share those details for both units and the crew can plan the carry before the truck arrives.Piano MovingPianos are heavy, top-weighted, and easy to scratch. We measure the route, plan the stairs and turns, and wrap the instrument before it leaves the room.Senior MovingMoving from a longtime home takes patience and a clear plan. We work at a steady pace with you and your family, and set up the essentials first at the new place.Moving & StorageWhen move-out and move-in dates do not line up, your belongings can go into storage and come back when the new place is ready. Everything is inventoried before it is stored.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Which road do you take from Santa Cruz to Felton?

Usually Graham Hill Road, which is about six miles and ends at Highway 9 in Felton. From Scotts Valley, Mount Hermon Road meets Graham Hill Road near Roaring Camp.

Can road work on Highway 9 affect a move?

It can. Caltrans ran daytime and overnight lane closures on Highway 9 in Felton in early 2026. Check Caltrans QuickMap before your date and tell us about any closures you see.

Is Felton a city with its own permit office?

No. Felton is an unincorporated community that disincorporated in 1917, so it falls under Santa Cruz County. Ask the county, not a city office, about any street or encroachment question.

What if a wildfire evacuation order is in effect?

Felton was ordered to evacuate during the CZU Lightning Complex fires in August 2020. If an order or road closure is active, follow CAL FIRE and county instructions and contact us early about changing the date.

What should I check at a Felton home before the move?

Look at the driveway width, any slope or stairs to the door, and where a truck can pull off the road. Photos of the approach help us plan the load and the route.

My wife and I recently moved to a new home. The crew that moved us were hardworking, respectful and careful with our items.

Once again, a team of great guys showed up at the designated time - polite, professional and never stopping! So glad I used your company again - I can’t recommend you highly enough. I seem to pick the hottest (move #1) and rainiest (move #2) days to move, but they’re unfazed! I’m one very happy repeat customer!
