Movers in Pollard Meadows: what we know about moving here

Households in Pollard Meadows are on the larger side and the housing is mixed rather than uniform: detached houses first, then row houses and low-rise flats, with none of it in a building of five storeys or more. That changes the job from one address to the next: a driveway and a garage on one, a shared entrance and an interior stair on the next. Behind both there is a family's worth of contents more often than a single person's.

Ownership runs ahead of renting here, so the calendar carries possession days as well as month-end lease turnover. The figures below come from the ring of southeast Edmonton communities Pollard Meadows sits inside, which is the nearest measured answer we hold on what a move in this part of the city takes.

Moving costs around Pollard Meadows, by the numbers

That ring is 33 southeast Edmonton communities with 110 completed residential moves between them. Summerside, Bonnie Doon, King Edward Park and the rest of them border Pollard Meadows. Their middle day ran 4.25 hours on site and came to $843 with tax in, half of them between $503 and $1,333. 61% of that work was graded small, 32% medium and 7% large, a spread wide enough that the range, rather than the midpoint, is the figure to plan against.

How much does it cost to move in Pollard Meadows?

The median local move across the southeast Edmonton communities around Pollard Meadows is $843, total cost with tax, and half of those 110 completed jobs fell between $503 and $1,333.

  • Why is the range of moving prices in Pollard Meadows so wide?

    Because one median covers every size of home. Across the 110 moves nearby, 61% were graded small, 32% medium and 7% large, and all of them were billed at the same hourly rate. The spread from $503 to $1,333 is therefore a spread of days rather than of prices. What moves a job inside it is the amount there is to carry and the route between the door and the truck.

  • How long does a move in Pollard Meadows take?

    The middle move across the 110 jobs completed in the southeast Edmonton communities around Pollard Meadows ran 4.25 hours on site, with half of them between 2.75 and 6.75 hours. Larger households and a garage or basement to clear are what push a day towards the longer end of that, which is why a walkthrough before the date is worth more than a longer inventory.

  • Do you charge for travel time to Pollard Meadows?

    No. There is no charge for travel time within city limits, so a move here is billed for the hours the crew is actually working, a median of 4.25 of them across the surrounding communities. There is also no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge, and the rate is written into the agreement before anything is lifted. Packing services and bin rentals are quoted separately.

Pollard Meadows neighbourhood guide for moving day

Nothing in Pollard Meadows is in a building of five storeys or more, so no tower lift or loading bay is part of the plan; access here is an interior stair, a front path, or a walk from wherever the truck can stand. Households are larger and a majority of homes are owned, so for a house here a full-day booking is the safer assumption than a morning one. The road itself is covered by Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit: no fee at present, roughly 6 business days to process, and a minimum of 6 working days' notice on low-impact work, 10 on anything heavier.

Most homes in Pollard Meadows were built 1981 to 1990

Booking the curb

On-Street Construction and Maintenance (OSCAM) Permit

City of Edmonton
What it costs
No fee currently: OSCAM Permits associated with Temporary Crossing, Tree Shrub Hoarding and Waste Bin, POD or SeaCan work reasons currently have no fees associated with them. A daily permitting fee for on-street placement of commercial waste bins, PODs or SeaCans is planned but is on hold until further notice.
How much notice
Average processing time is 6 business days. Low-impact projects should be submitted a minimum of 6 working days prior to start of work; high-impact projects a minimum of 10 working days. Longer processing during peak construction season (March to October).

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.
