Best Forestbrook, SC Moving Company
Forestbrook is a popular residential area just west of Myrtle Beach, along Forestbrook Road between US-501 and the Waccamaw River. It is about 6 miles from the heart of Myrtle Beach, close enough for an easy commute but far enough to escape tourist traffic.
Most homes here are single-family houses in established subdivisions, with a growing number of newer builds. Streets can be narrow and cul-de-sacs tight, so we send the right size truck and crew for your neighborhood. Some parts of Forestbrook sit near the river, and families moving after storms or flooding often need quick, careful help, including short-term storage while repairs are finished.
We move full households, apartments, and townhomes, and we handle packing, heavy furniture, and appliance moves. If you are coming from out of state, we are happy to coordinate with you by phone and text so the move feels easy from a distance.
Forestbrook gives you quick access to US-501, the Market Common area, and the beach without living in the middle of the tourist traffic. Grocery stores, schools, and restaurants are close by, and the Waccamaw River offers boating and fishing right in the backyard for some homes. It is a comfortable, practical place to put down roots.
From Forestbrook we also serve Socastee, Carolina Forest, and Conway. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers is Carolina Strong and proud to serve the Grand Strand. 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 your free quote.

“Excellent experience! We have moved 11 times and once overseas and A&M is in the top two moves! They communicate well and there are no curveballs. Chris, Zack & “Ox” were hard working, courteous and professional. They moved us quickly and took great care with our property. When initially speaking with Matt, he realized I was a Veteran and he immediately offered a Veteran’s discount. I would highly recommend A&M Friendly Movers because they live their name!”
