Scottsdale is not one kind of move. DC Ranch alone has four villages, from the patio homes and townhomes of Desert Camp to the large estates of Silverleaf, while south Scottsdale is mostly mid-century ranch housing. Each changes where the truck stops, how far boxes travel, and how many packing hours the job needs.
Pack the whole home, or only the rooms you choose.
From glassware, antiques and artwork to larger furniture, we pack what you hand us. Troon Village shows why we ask questions first: its roughly 1,300 home sites span townhomes, semi-custom and custom homes in 12 sub-associations, so a Ballantrae Ridge job and a Windy Walk Estates job rarely look alike.
We bring sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape.
Monsoon season runs June 15 to Sept. 30, with early weeks of lightning and wind but little rain. Boxes taped shut and padded with paper and bubble wrap handle a gusty loading day far better than half-packed ones.
We unpack and place your things in the rooms you choose.
When we reach the new home, the crew unpacks and places items where you want them. Scottsdale’s move-in box collection, offered to new single-family residents with city solid waste service, only takes boxes that are completely empty and flattened at the front edge of the property, so unpacking by room leaves empty cartons you can break down and stage.
Gate access shapes the schedule. In DC Ranch, Desert Parks mixes custom and non-custom homes with luxury apartments behind private gated access, and Troon Village has gated, guard-gated and non-gated subdivisions side by side. Tell us which gate type applies when you book, so our packers and the truck arrive without a delay at the gate.
McCormick Ranch was the city’s first upscale master-planned community, built on a former working ranch of about 4,200 acres, and its property owners association dates to 1972. Our professional packers in Scottsdale plan around that association’s rules for driveways and containers before the first box is taped.
Town and Country Scottsdale, southeast of Scottsdale Road and Oak Street, is a 15-acre subdivision of 62 homes that went on sale in 1959, and an alley serves each home. Loading from the alley or the front is a choice worth making before packing starts, so we bring sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape to match.
Unpacking has a clock in some places. In McCormick Ranch, a PODS-type container must be registered with the property owners association before delivery, may sit only in the driveway, and is limited to two weeks per year, so plan unpacking around that window. Our crew unpacks and places items in the rooms you name, which keeps cartons from piling up while that clock runs.

Winter and spring are busy in Scottsdale: Barrett-Jackson, the Parada del Sol parade, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and, in March, the San Francisco Giants’ spring training in Old Town. Event crowds can change when a truck can easily reach Old Town Scottsdale, so we settle timing with you in advance.
Office moves produce a lot of cartons, and the city’s move-in box collection is for new single-family residents, while city facilities are not drop-off sites for moving boxes. We pack office furniture, equipment and files, and you can ask us about pickup and haul off for what is left.
Whether the job is in the Country Club village of DC Ranch or is a Troon Fairways home, you decide how much we pack, from every room to a few fragile items, and we unpack into the rooms you name.

A City of Scottsdale historic study found 236 postwar subdivisions with almost 15,000 single-family homes built from 1946 to 1973, mostly in modern housing styles. Homes that age often hold decades of belongings such as glassware, antiques and artwork, which is where careful packing earns its keep. Tell us the rooms and we will scope packing and unpacking in Scottsdale for you.
Packing does not have to be all or nothing. A large Silverleaf estate might hand us only the artwork, antiques and glassware, while a Desert Camp townhome might want every room boxed. Either way we match the supplies to the list, and our crew puts items where you ask, room by room.
Before packing day, schedule your city hazardous waste appointment: Scottsdale offers up to three free collections per address per year, with a 20-gallon maximum per appointment and no container larger than 5 gallons. Anything that qualifies stays off the packing list.

Scottsdale offers a move-in box collection for new single-family residents with city solid waste service. Boxes must be completely empty and flattened at the front edge of the property or they will not be picked up, and city facilities are not drop-off sites for moving boxes. Break them down as you go, and ask us about pickup and haul off for what is left.
Yes. Our crew packs office furniture, equipment and files, with proper materials for electronics and fragile items, and unpacks at the new location. For Old Town Scottsdale offices, mention the date early: winter and spring bring Barrett-Jackson, the Parada del Sol parade, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and, in March, Giants spring training.
It can. DC Ranch's Desert Parks village has luxury apartments with private gated access, and Troon Village mixes gated, guard-gated and non-gated subdivisions across 12 sub-associations. Tell us the gate type and your village or sub-association when you book, whether that is Silverleaf, Troon Fairways or Windy Walk Estates, so packers and the truck arrive ready.
Only within the association's rules. McCormick Ranch requires PODS-type containers to be registered before delivery, allows them only in the driveway for up to two weeks per year, and bars placing them in the street without City of Scottsdale permission. Plan your packing and unpacking order around that two-week limit.
Often the house itself is what changes. A City of Scottsdale historic study counted 236 postwar subdivisions with almost 15,000 single-family homes built from 1946 to 1973, mostly modern styles. Tell us your street, which rooms to pack and what is fragile, and we will size the supplies to that list.
