Removalists Lilydale
Larger blocks and longer driveways at the edge of the Yarra Valley.
Bigger blocks at the edge of the valley
Lilydale is 34 kilometres east of the CBD, right where Melbourne’s suburban edge meets the Yarra Valley. The properties here are bigger than what you find closer in, and the range is wide: older houses on large blocks along Main Street, newer estates behind the Lilydale Marketplace, and acreage on the rural fringe toward the ranges. The access varies just as much. Our Lilydale removalists start every quote by asking about the driveway, the block and the rooms, because out here those details set the truck and the time.
Every move has a supervisor who owns the loading plan and decides what comes apart, what goes first and how it all fits on the truck. Dining tables, beds and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled down for loading and rebuilt at the new address.
Driveways and properties on the fringe
The rural-urban fringe around Lilydale means driveways are often longer and steeper than an inner-suburban street. Some properties also have sheds, workshops or outbuildings with furniture or equipment that needs to go on the truck alongside the house contents. We ask about all of it when we quote, so the crew arrives with the right truck and enough hands.
Furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped before we drive. Fridges, washing machines and lounges are secured upright so nothing shifts on the longer run back toward the city or out to the new address.
What the crew does on the day
Every piece that goes on the truck is blanket-wrapped and covered in plastic. Anything too wide for a doorway is taken apart and rebuilt at the new address. Public liability and transit insurance is included on every move, and because our crews are trained in-house the people who load the truck are the same ones who set up the new rooms.
Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page. Boxes, paper and tape are available for purchase, and if you would rather not pack we can send a team the day before to do it for you.
Interstate from the outer east
Lilydale is further from the city than most Melbourne suburbs, so an interstate load has a longer initial run before joining the freeway. Loads heading to Sydney and Canberra pick up EastLink and then the Hume. Adelaide runs go via the Western Ring Road. You choose between a dedicated truck with a set delivery day or a shared backload where you pay for the space your load fills.
Moving to Lilydale from interstate, we bring the truck to the property and place every item in the room you nominate. If the new house is not ready, your goods go into climate-controlled storage, secured with round-the-clock surveillance, and we deliver when you have the keys.
Request a quote for your Lilydale move
Drop us the two addresses, the number of bedrooms, anything oversized like a piano or pool table, and whether the driveway is long, steep or both. We come back with a truck size and a price. Use the calculator below to check the volume yourself. There is no cost for the quote and no obligation to book.
The cheapest move is the one that is ready when the truck arrives. Boxes packed and taped, furniture cleared from the walls, a clear path to the truck and any gates unlocked can save real time on a bigger property. Call 1300 724 553 or use the contact form and we will call you back.

Why families in Lilydale use us
Quoted once we see the access
On a Lilydale property the driveway, the block size and the number of rooms all shape the quote. We ask first so the price matches the actual job.
Trucks for bigger properties
Larger blocks mean bigger loads. We match the truck to the house and the driveway so one trip covers the lot, even on a steep or unsealed drive.
A supervisor runs every move
The supervisor owns the loading order, decides what comes apart and makes sure the heaviest items sit right for the longer drive back toward the city.
All furniture wrapped and secured
Each piece is blanket-wrapped and strapped for the drive. On a longer run from the valley, securing appliances upright and wrapping glass items individually matters even more.

Questions about moving from Lilydale
How do you quote for a large property on the valley fringe?
We ask about the number of rooms, the driveway length and slope, any sheds or outbuildings, and the access at both ends. The truck size and crew are chosen to suit the property, and the price follows the hours the job takes rather than a flat rate.
Can you move items from a shed or workshop as well as the house?
Yes. Tell us what is in the shed and how big the items are when you request the quote. We plan the crew and truck so they can clear the house and the outbuildings in one visit rather than coming back a second time.
What if my driveway is too steep or narrow for a full-size truck?
We send a smaller truck or plan the carry from where the truck can park. Telling us about the driveway before we quote means the crew arrives prepared and the time is quoted accurately.
Do you offer backloading for an interstate move from Lilydale?
Yes. A backload shares truck space with another load heading the same way, and you pay for the space your furniture uses rather than the whole truck. We also offer a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day if you need a set arrival.
How does storage work if I am between houses during a renovation?
Your things go into our climate-controlled storage, secured with round-the-clock surveillance. We keep the load together and deliver it when the build is finished. That can stretch from weeks to months, and you only pay for the storage time you use.
