Best Fayetteville, NC Moving Company
Fayetteville is the largest city in Cumberland County and the home town for thousands of soldiers and families stationed at Fort Bragg, the Army post just northwest of the city. The City of Fayetteville stretches from the historic downtown along Hay Street out to newer neighborhoods off Raeford Road and Cliffdale Road. With so many families arriving and leaving on orders, this is one of the busiest moving towns in the state, and it is a regular stop for our North Carolina moving crews.
The Army post next door went back to the name Fort Bragg in 2025, now honoring Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, a World War II paratrooper. Our military moving service works around PCS report dates and sign-out days, and we help with PPM (self-move) paperwork so you have the weight tickets and receipts you need. Moving into on-post housing means following the housing office rules on check-in times and parking, while off-post rentals and homes in Fayetteville and nearby towns each come with their own lease or HOA rules. Tell us which one you have and we will plan around it.
Housing in Fayetteville is a real mix. About 47 percent of homes are owner-occupied, according to Census data, so many families rent. Haymount, the city’s oldest neighborhood just west of downtown, has older homes on tree-lined streets like Hale Street and Hillside Avenue, some with narrow driveways and steps up from the sidewalk. Out west, gated golf communities like Gates Four and newer subdivisions off Raeford Road have HOA rules on truck parking and move hours. Apartment complexes along Skibo Road and Bragg Boulevard often mean stairs, elevators or a set loading area, so we ask about those before moving day.
Traffic can shape a Fayetteville move. Raeford Road, Skibo Road and Bragg Boulevard back up at rush hour and around shift changes at the post, so we plan early starts. The All American Freeway and I-295 help us get across town, and I-95 on the east side is the road out for long moves. Summer heat is hard on people and furniture, so we pad and wrap everything with care. If you need help getting ready, our packing and unpacking service can box up a room or the whole house, and storage can hold your things if your report date and lease dates do not line up.
We also move families in Hope Mills, Spring Lake and across Cumberland County, along with long-distance moves for soldiers heading to their next duty station. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Fayetteville move like we are helping our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for a free quote.

“We used this company to move a couple days ago and couldn’t be happier with our decision! Ox, JT, and. Zach were so friendly and professional. We were fairly disorganized having the old house ready, but they worked with us to get it together and moved our 5 bedroom house + garage in only a few hours. HIGHLY recommend!”

Moving in Fayetteville: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Fayetteville. Here’s what we plan around.
Five bulky items free
City crews collect up to five bulky items at the curb at no charge on your B-week yard waste day. Set them 1 foot from the curb and 4 feet apart. Six or more items must be scheduled and paid through FayFixIt or 910-433-1FAY (1329).
Metal goes on Wednesdays
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, bicycles and other metal items are collected only on Wednesdays and must be scheduled with 910-433-1FAY. Empty appliances and furniture first, and remove or secure all doors.
Leave city carts behind
Each single-family home gets a 96-gallon trash cart and a 96-gallon recycling cart. They belong to the City of Fayetteville and can’t be removed from the home they’re assigned to, so don’t pack them.
Get your post pass
Visitors without a DoD ID need a pass to enter Fort Bragg, from the All American Visitor Control Center or online up to 30 days ahead (24 hours ahead is recommended). Sponsored commercial vendors register at the Truck Plaza Visitor Control Center off Cook Street near Knox Gate.
Plan the freeway route
Fayetteville is served by I-95, I-95 Business, I-295, the All American Freeway and the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway. The All American Freeway also leads to Fort Bragg’s All American access control point.
