Local move details
A Highway 9 town on the San Lorenzo River
Ben Lomond moves are a little different, and we plan for that. When we roll up, you’ll see we’re ready for the heat those summer afternoons can hit, so we load early and keep water handy. We ask up front about your cabin or cottage rules and how far the truck can get up the drive. Winter’s another story, with 49.6 inches of rain, so we lay down protection at the door and ask you to clear a path. It’s a short hop, but we take it seriously.
- Summer highs average near 90 degrees and can pass 100, noticeably hotter than the coast. Schedule loading for early morning and keep water on hand.
- Annual rainfall is about 49.6 inches, so winter moves mean wet driveways and muddy shoulders. Clear a path and lay down protection at the door.
- For a rented cabin or cottage, confirm move-out rules and how far the truck can get up the drive with the property manager.

Choose the help that matches your move.
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.
How far is Ben Lomond from Santa Cruz?
About 12 miles by Highway 9. From San Jose it is about 34 miles; the usual way over the hill is Highway 17 to Scotts Valley and then down to Highway 9.
Does summer heat change how a Ben Lomond move is planned?
Yes. Average summer highs are near 90 degrees and can exceed 100, so early starts are practical. Pack refrigerated and heat-sensitive items last and keep them out of a hot truck.
What about winter storms and creek-side roads?
Rainfall averages about 49.6 inches a year and Love Creek and the San Lorenzo River run close to town. In a heavy storm, the date may need to move, so keep some flexibility.
Can you reach Glen Arbor and Brackney addresses?
Send the street address and a photo of the driveway or road. Some lots in the valley are on narrow or sloped approaches, and we would rather check first than find out on move day.
Was Ben Lomond affected by the 2020 fires?
The 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fires destroyed the historic Alba School in the area. If evacuation orders or closures are in effect near your move date, follow county alerts and tell us right away.
