Movers in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX

Moving in Fair Oaks Ranch

What moving here actually takes.

Fair Oaks Ranch is quiet, green and spread out. Houses sit well back from the road under live oaks, driveways run long, and the streets curve with the land instead of following a grid. Homes here tend to be larger single-family houses, so plan for a full house plus the garage and the patio.

Moves like that go smoothly with a little planning. Tell us about the driveway, the trees over it, any stairs and anything heavy, and your move lead matches the crew and the schedule to your home. The city reaches into Bexar, Kendall and Comal counties, and a pickup anywhere in it carries the same flat $35 travel fee, charged once. The truck, pads, wrap, dollies and floor runners all come with the crew.

1. 01

   Low limbs over the drive

   Live oak branches arch over many Fair Oaks Ranch driveways and streets, and a moving truck stands a good deal taller than a pickup. A limb your car slides under can still catch the box. If you can, trim low branches a few days before the move. If not, tell us, and the truck will stop where the overhead is clear while the crew covers the rest on foot.

2. 02

   Deer and pets

   Deer wander through yards and across roads all over town, most of all around dawn and dusk, so our drivers keep it slow on residential streets. With doors propped open for hours on move day, it also helps to keep dogs and cats in a closed room or with a friend, so nobody slips out while the crew works.

3. 03

   Getting in from I-10

   From I-10, Ralph Fair Road and Dietz Elkhorn Road are the main ways into town, and the last stretch winds through neighborhoods at low speed. It takes longer than the map suggests. Since the crew's time on the road is billed like the rest of the move, having boxes packed and paths cleared before the truck pulls in keeps the total down.

4. 04

   Garages, patios and safes

   Big lots collect big things: patio sets, grills, garage shelving, workbenches and sometimes a gun safe. List them when you book, because outdoor and garage pieces take real time. Safes and other specialty items are reviewed and priced on their own before move day, so the cost is settled before the crew arrives. More on that under heavy item moves.
