Garden furniture moved safely from your old house to your new one. Heavy patio sets, benches, and planters relocated without damage.
Garden Furniture Won't Fit in a Car
Bought a solid oak garden table? Stone bench that's built like a tank? This stuff doesn't fit in a hatchback and it's too heavy to safely lift yourself.
💡 Pro tip: Most removal companies won't move garden furniture as standard - it gets left till last or needs a separate booking. Save the hassle and book me directly.

🔧 DIY Tips
Moving garden furniture yourself? Here's how:
🔧 Essential equipment
- Get helpers (don't do it alone)
- Use a trolley or dolly for heavy items
- Protect furniture with blankets
- Plan route avoiding soft ground
- Lift with legs not back
📦 Before you move
- Empty planters completely
- Dismantle what you can
- Check route is clear
- Measure access points
- Pick a dry day (easier on grass)
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Trying to move wet/muddy furniture
- Not emptying planters first
- Dragging instead of lifting
- Underestimating weight
- Moving across soft lawn with heavy items
💡 Pro trick: Empty and dry planters are 70% lighter. Do it the day before moving.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move heavy stone or concrete garden furniture?
Yes - stone benches, concrete planters, heavy cast iron tables. If it needs two or more people to lift, that's what I'm here for. I've got the right equipment to move heavy garden stuff without wrecking your back or your patio.
Will you damage my lawn moving furniture across it?
Not if I can help it. For really heavy items I use boards to spread the weight. I plan the route to avoid soft ground where possible. Your lawn should be fine.
Can you dismantle garden furniture for moving?
Yes - lots of patio sets and gazebos need taking apart to transport. I can dismantle at the old house, move it, and reassemble at the new place. Saves hiring a bigger van.
Do removal companies move garden furniture?
Some do, some don't - and when they do, they often charge extra or make you wait until the end of the day. Booking me separately means your garden furniture arrives when you need it, not hours later.
Can you move garden furniture between houses on the same day?
Yes - happens all the time. I can do it before the main removal van, during, or after - whatever timing works best. Just needs coordinating so I'm not in the way of the movers.
