Local move details

Getting a truck up Bonny Doon Road

When we move folks in Bonny Doon, we plan the day way ahead of time. The land climbs from coastal grassland to redwood forest and maritime chaparral, so our crew gives extra care to getting the truck in and out. We ask you to share the address, gate details, and a call-back plan before we leave, since phone service is limited by terrain and trees. There's no commercial shopping up there, so grab boxes, tape, and tarps ahead. We try to start early to beat the heat and keep the date flexible for evacuation alerts.

  • Mobile phone service is limited by the terrain and trees, so share the address, gate details and a call-back plan before the crew leaves.
  • The Martin Fire (2008), Lockheed Fire (2009) and CZU Complex (2020) all affected the area. Watch evacuation alerts and keep the date flexible.
  • There is no commercial shopping in Bonny Doon, so buy boxes, tape and tarps before move day.

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.

Frequently asked questions.

How do I reach Bonny Doon from Santa Cruz?

Bonny Doon Road leads from Highway 1 on the coast up into the community. Empire Grade is another named road there. Send the exact address so the route can be checked.

Do long driveways or private roads matter?

They do. Photos of the driveway, gate and turnaround help us decide how to stage the move. Tell us if a gate has a code or a lock.

What if my phone does not work at the house?

Cell service is limited in Bonny Doon, so agree on an arrival window and a backup contact in advance. A landline or wifi calling number helps.

How have wildfires affected the area?

The Martin Fire in 2008 led to about 1,500 evacuations and the Lockheed Fire in 2009 to more than 2,000. The CZU Complex followed in 2020. Ask about alerts if a fire is nearby.

Can I pick up supplies in Bonny Doon?

There is no commercial shopping area, so get packing supplies in Santa Cruz or on the coast before the move.

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!
