Moving in Gardendale
Gardendale is quiet and settled: about 2,020 people spread over 11 square miles of northeastern Ector County, with SH 158 along the north edge and downtown Odessa 14 miles south. Most homes sit on a few acres. A typical Gardendale job for us means a house, a metal shop or barn, and a long gravel drive. We did 45 moves out there last year.

Building Out in Gardendale?
New custom homes out here often finish a few weeks late. We can move you out of the old house on schedule and keep everything in our warehouse until the builder hands over keys.
Your things stay sealed in their vaults and come out with the same crew that packed them. Easy.
How Much Do Movers Cost in Gardendale?
Movers in Gardendale usually cost $119 to $189 an hour in 2026 for a truck with two or three movers, the same rate as in Odessa. A four-bedroom country home with a shop is a long day, about $1,600 to $2,600. Long drives, gates and outbuildings add time, so walk us around the property before we quote.

| 3 bedroom home, Gardendale to Odessa | $1,200 to $1,900 | 6 to 8 hours |
| 4 bedroom home plus shop | $1,600 to $2,600 | 8 to 10 hours |

Moving Services We Offer in Gardendale
Country Home Moves
Big living rooms, heavy oak furniture, full garages. We send a 26-foot truck and enough people to load it in one trip, so you are not paying for two runs down the Andrews Highway.
Shops, Barns and Tack Rooms
Saddles, tack, tool chests and shelving get their own section of the truck. Anything with fuel, like mowers and four-wheelers, has to be drained before it rides. Honestly, the barn is usually the last thing packed and the first thing people ask about.
Storage During a Build
Gardendale is one of the few places near Odessa with room to build, so we meet a lot of families waiting on a builder. Warehouse storage runs month to month, and nobody has to rent a unit and move twice.
Long Distance Moves
Leaving the Basin for good? We quote the whole move in writing and drive it ourselves, whether it is Lubbock, Dallas or Colorado Springs.
What to Know About Moving in Gardendale
Gardendale grew from 1,197 people in 2000 to 2,020 in 2020 as families went looking for elbow room near Odessa and Midland. In 2000 about two thirds of households were married couples and the median age was 39, older than Ector County overall. Settled people, lots of stuff.
Wind blows harder in open country than in town. In our experience a Gardendale move needs more pads and more runners than a city move: every piece stays padded between the house and the truck, we park with the doors out of the wind, and runners go down in the entry because dirt drives get dusty fast.
Planning a Gardendale Move
Country moves take a little more planning than a move across town. Before we quote, we want to know how long the drive is from the road, whether the truck can turn around at the house, where the gates are, and what lives in the barn. A Gardendale family we moved last spring had a 400-foot drive, two gates and a horse that wanted to supervise. We planned for all three.
Think about the shop early. Tools, shelving, the deep freezer, the gun safe and the riding mower usually take as long as a whole bedroom. If you are selling the property, decide what stays with the land before moving day so the crew does not load the hay feeder by mistake.
Moving Into Town From Gardendale
A lot of longtime Gardendale couples eventually move into Odessa or Midland to be closer to doctors and grandkids. Those are downsizing moves: big country furniture going into a smaller house. We measure the new rooms and help sort what fits, then store or deliver the rest to family.
Moving Out to Gardendale
Going the other way, from a city lot to acreage, usually means more space than furniture. We can stage the move in two trips, the house first and the shop or storage pieces later, so you are not unloading everything on the same hot afternoon.
Gun Safes and Shop Equipment
Almost every Gardendale move we do has a gun safe, and a lot of them have two. A 600 to 1,000 pound safe needs a safe dolly, straps and three or four people, plus a plan for the porch steps. Empty it first and tell us the size. Big shop tools like table saws and air compressors ride fine if they are drained and the loose parts are boxed.
Anything bolted down, like a vehicle lift, needs to be unbolted before we arrive.
Farther north up US 385 toward the New Mexico line, we also move families in Andrews.
Movers in Gardendale FAQs
Do you charge extra for the drive to Gardendale?
No trip fee. Gardendale is about 14 miles from downtown Odessa, a normal local move for us. You pay the hourly rate for the crew and truck, and the drive between your old and new place is part of those hours, same as a move across town.
Can you move a four-wheeler or riding mower?
Yes, if it fits in the truck with the rest of the load and the fuel is drained. We load it on the ramp, strap it to the truck wall and pad anything next to it. Golf carts and small tractors may need a trailer instead.
How do you protect floors in a country house?
Floor runners go down from the front door to every room, and door frames get padded before the first piece moves. Gravel and caliche dust from the drive get tracked in otherwise, and that grit chews up wood and tile floors in a single afternoon.
Your Move Is Our Priority
“My husband works a 14 on, 14 off schedule out of Pecos, so I booked the whole move from my phone. They packed the kitchen the day before and had us in the new place in Midland before he got home. Not one dish broken.”
Marisol R.Odessa to Midland “Three guys, one truck, a 4 bedroom brick house off Grandview and my mother’s upright piano. Wrapped everything, strapped it like they meant it and were done by 3. The bill matched the quote to the dollar.”
Dale W.Odessa “Our closing got pushed back two weeks. They kept our whole house in their warehouse and delivered it out to Gardendale the day we got the keys. Easy.”
