Care should be taken with lawns and driveways when you are moving. Try to avoid walking on them at all, but if they must be traversed, don’t tear them up with your feet or by dragging things over them. Sometimes articles must be placed on the lawn nearby to the truck temporarily, so try not to dig into the lawn or get ground dirt on the articles.
Driveways must be carefully navigated by the truck so as not to slip off of them and gouge or dig up dirt from the lawn with the truck’s tires. Some driveways such as brand-new asphalt driveways cannot take the weight of a truck, so park on the street and carry or dolly your goods and furnishings into the house – an action that will take more helpers.
Some driveways are not paved and have a sandy or clay or a dirt/mud consistency that can trap a truck, calling for an expensive tow to get it out. Avoid all poor driveways with the truck.
Be careful not to drive into lawn statuary, posts, fencing, fire plugs, sprinkler systems or low decorative walls nearby or next to the driveway.
Ultimately, it’s best to hire professional movers with years of experience – experts who will know exactly what it takes to your lawns and driveways from damage during the move. Request a free moving quote to see how much a professional moving company will charge you for the job.
