Larkspur runs two moving days side by side. Most of its homes are single-detached, but close to a quarter are apartments in low-rise buildings and another slice is semi-detached, so a crew working this neighbourhood has a driveway, a garage and a basement on one job and a shared stairwell on the next. Ownership is high and households are full rather than single, which pushes the house work towards whole loads arranged around a possession date.
No building in Larkspur reaches five storeys, so a booked lift never enters the plan and stairs do that job instead. The measured record below is the southeast Edmonton one, covering the communities immediately around this page.
Moving costs around Larkspur, by the numbers
Thirty-one communities and 110 residential moves make up that record: Summerside, Bonnie Doon, King Edward Park and the rest of the southeast ring. 64% were graded small, 29% medium and 7% large. Time on site came to 4.25 hours at the median, with the middle half of the jobs running 2.75 to 6.75 hours, and the cost to $843 with tax, half of them between $502 and $1,303. It is a set that holds both a one-bedroom walk-up and a full house, which is why that band is as wide as it is.

How much does it cost to move in Larkspur?
The median residential move across the southeast Edmonton communities around Larkspur costs $843 with tax in, and half of the 110 completed there fell between $502 and $1,303. Cactus charges by the hour for a local move: the rate follows the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement sets it out before the crew starts.
-
Is moving out of a walk-up different from moving out of a house in Larkspur?
It is a different job billed at the same hourly rate. Larkspur has both. Most homes are detached and close to a quarter are apartments in low-rise buildings, and the difference is where the hours go: a shared stairwell and a carry to wherever the truck can stand, against a driveway with a garage and a basement to clear. Neither involves a lift, because nothing here reaches five storeys.
-
How long does a move around Larkspur take?
The middle job among the 110 residential moves in the surrounding southeast communities ran 4.25 hours on site, and half of them took between 2.75 and 6.75 hours. That middle half is four hours wide because the set holds every size of home.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Larkspur?
Only where the truck has to stand on the roadway instead of a driveway. Edmonton covers that with the On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which carries no fee at present; processing runs about 6 business days, low-impact work asks for a minimum of 6 working days of notice, and high-impact work 10. Peak construction season stretches those timelines.
-
Is there a deposit, and what else goes on the bill?
No deposit on a local move, no fuel surcharge, and no charge for travel time within city limits. The $843 median above is a total with tax rather than a subtotal. What you pay for is the movers and the truck at the size the job needs, at a rate written into the agreement before anyone starts. Packing services and bin rentals are available and priced separately.

Larkspur neighbourhood guide for moving day
Larkspur's two housing types set up two different arrivals. Where the address is a house, the work is a driveway, a garage and a basement, and the planning is about volume; where it is a low-rise unit, the work is a shared stairwell and somewhere to put the truck, and the planning is about access. Nothing reaches five storeys, so no lift needs reserving either way. Where the truck cannot use a driveway, the roadway is covered by Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently free, processed in about 6 business days and asking a minimum of 6 working days of notice on low-impact work.

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.

Jorge and Lovish are the team that help me move items from my place to the storage locker. They were punctual, both very respectful and took great care moving the items.

Highly recommend Ivan and George from Cactus Moving. They wrapped and secured all our belongings so nothing got damaged in transport. Respected our homes and time, worked fast but efficient. Reasonably priced also. We would definitely use this company again for future moves.

George and Ivan were the movers and they were very fast and efficient. The company didnt have any hidden fees or unnecessary crap. They kept in touch through out the entire move and made what was very stressful for me very easy. Good people all around.

The friendliness and the efficiency of these movers was very excellent. Surinder , Max and Ruslan did a great job with packing me up and getting me out very quickly. I would not hesitate to get them again! The boys were respectful, patient and very kind . This was a very difficult move for me.

Cactus Moving did an outstanding job with our condo-to-house move! The 3-person crew (Maksym, Chint, Matthew) arrived early, took time to understand what needed to be moved, and laid down mats to protect the floors & stairs.
