Most of Allard was built inside the last decade, which puts nearly all of its housing in a single era. What decides a moving day here, though, is the mix on top of that: mostly detached and mostly owned, so the ordinary job starts at a private driveway on a possession date rather than at a building door on a lease date.
A small share of homes do sit in buildings of five storeys or more, enough that a lift and a loading door are occasionally part of the plan without being the default. Households run to 2.9 people, so the load is more often a family's than a single occupant's. The hours and prices below are measured across the wider set of southwest Edmonton communities Allard belongs to.
Moving costs around Allard, by the numbers
That set is 54 southwest Edmonton communities and 203 completed residential moves. The middle job ran 4.75 hours on site, half of them between 2.5 and 7.88 hours, and cost $887 with tax in, half falling between $478 and $1,628. Seventy per cent of them graded small, a reminder that the set spans every size of home in those 54 communities rather than the detached houses most of Allard is made of. Because a local move is billed by the hour, where a job lands in that band is a question of how much has to come out of the home and how far it has to be carried, not of which community it is in.

How much does it cost to move in Allard?
The median local move across the 203 jobs in the southwest Edmonton communities around Allard is $887, total cost with tax, with half of them between $478 and $1,628. Cactus bills a local move by the hour, at a rate set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement states that rate before the crew starts.
-
Why is the price range for a move in Allard so wide?
Because one median covers every size of home in the set. The same hourly rate bills a one-bedroom suite and a full detached house, and those are two different days, which is why half of the 203 moves behind that figure spread from $478 to $1,628. The way to narrow it for your own job is to settle what is coming with us before the date rather than on it.
-
How long does a move in Allard take?
The middle job in the communities around Allard ran 4.75 hours on site, with half of the 203 taking between 2.5 and 7.88 hours. Allard's households run to 2.9 people, and on an hourly rate a fuller home is simply a longer day at the same rate.
-
Do I need to book an elevator for a move in Allard?
Only if you are in one of the 6% of Allard homes in a building of five storeys or more. For those, the lift and the loading door are the first call, because the building controls them and the crew does not. The rest of the community is detached houses and low-rise buildings, where the access question is usually a doorway and a staircase rather than a reservation.
-
What is included in the hourly rate?
The movers and the truck at the size the job needs, at a rate the agreement states before anyone starts lifting. There is no deposit on a local move, no fuel surcharge, and no charge for travel time within city limits, so an Allard move is billed for the hours the crew is actually working.

Allard neighbourhood guide for moving day
Allard is the kind of place where two different moves happen. On the great majority of it, detached houses and low-rise buildings, the job starts at a door you control and the only access question is where the truck can stand. On the 6% of homes in buildings of five storeys or more it starts with the building: the lift and the loading door are booked by somebody other than you, so that call goes in first. For the curb itself, Edmonton uses an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently free for the work reasons that apply, with low-impact requests due at least 6 working days ahead.

Figures come from Cactus’s own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.

I Have used them on 2 occasions to help move a family member out their house. 1st move house to storage that was a long move which is normal 8 hours with 2 movers not bad at all. 2nd move storage into the appartment ( Ivan and George load the truck under 1hr) . the move was done under 6 hours.

Overall I had a great experience with my move. The quote was fast and all my questions were answered right away. I was a little surprised that the movers showed up in a U-Haul truck, but George and Nikita were efficient, respectful and professional.

Ilia and Ivan were absolutely outstanding during our move from Saskatchewan to Alberta. They were punctual, professional, and handled everything with great care and efficiency.

Rough start, strong finish I hired Cactus Moving twice: first to move my belongings into storage, and later to move everything into my new home once construction was finished. The first move was very disappointing. The day started with a truck breakdown on the way to my house.
