Best Ardmore, PA Moving Company
Ardmore is a busy Main Line town that sits mostly in Lower Merion Township, with a smaller section in Haverford Township. Its downtown along Lancaster Avenue is packed with shops, restaurants, and the Ardmore Music Hall, and Suburban Square opened back in 1928 as one of the first shopping centers in the country. Our Tri-State crew moves families and renters in and out of Ardmore as part of our Tri-State moving service.
Housing in Ardmore is a real mix. Near downtown you will find apartments over storefronts, older twins, and small apartment buildings. Farther out are larger single homes on tree-lined streets, plus the Merion Golf Manor section on the Haverford Township side. Older homes here often have steep stairs, narrow halls, and tight landings. We pad railings and doorways, take apart big furniture when needed, and plan the order we load so your new place comes together fast. If a sofa or dresser will not fit up a narrow stairway, we will tell you before we start, not halfway through the day.
Parking is the biggest thing to plan for in Ardmore. Lancaster Avenue is a busy road, many side streets have tight parking, and some apartment buildings have small loading areas or set move hours. We look at your address ahead of time, pick the right size truck, and work with your building office if you are in an apartment. Starting early helps us beat traffic on Lancaster Avenue and Montgomery Avenue. If you are moving on a weekend when the shops are busy, we plan extra time for loading.
Ardmore is popular with young families, commuters, and people moving from the city who want a walkable downtown. The Ardmore train station has SEPTA Regional Rail and Amtrak service, and the Ardmore Farmers Market is right in Suburban Square. Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole home or just the kitchen and breakables. We can also move a few big pieces if you are handling the small stuff yourself.
We also move families all along the Main Line and into the city, including Bryn Mawr and Havertown. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Ardmore move like we are moving 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 410-499-8777 for a free quote.

Moving in Ardmore: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Ardmore. Here’s what we plan around.
Confirm your township
Ardmore spans Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Haverford Township in Delaware County, so trash and permit rules depend on which side you live on.
Bulky items need arrangements
In Lower Merion, bulky items and large appliances can’t go out with regular refuse; request a special pickup or take them to the Public Works Complex.
Mind set-out hours
Lower Merion refuse and recycling may go to the curb no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day.
Bag mattresses first
Lower Merion requires all mattresses and box springs to be wrapped in a mattress disposal bag before pickup or drop-off.
Haverford-side bulk day
On the Haverford Township side, bulk trash is scheduled in advance and collected on Wednesdays, with items at the curb by 7 a.m.

Distance
