Farmington Hills is not Farmington, and your move depends on which one
Farmington and Farmington Hills are two separate cities with their own city halls, trash service and permit offices. Many Farmington Hills addresses still say "Farmington" on the mail, so check your address before you call anyone. Farmington Hills itself only became a city in 1973, when the old township joined the villages of Quakertown and Wood Creek Farms. Today about 84,000 people live here, and the housing runs from farmhouses to apartment blocks.
Getting here from our Brighton base, about 20 miles away, is the easy part. What takes planning is the housing. A 1930s subdivision, a mid-1980s colonial and a high-density apartment area all load differently. That is why we like to walk the stairs, halls and driveway with you before we give a price.
Farmhouses, two building booms and a lot of apartments
The oldest homes here predate the city by a century. A Greek Revival farmhouse with a fieldstone foundation still stands on Eleven Mile Road. A house like that can have original wood stairs and a stone basement, so we would plan extra crew time and pad the stairs. If you own a piano or an antique in a house this old, tell us early.
Most of the city was built in two surges: strong building from 1977 to 1979, then a boom from 1984 to 1989 that peaked at nearly 2,400 new units in 1985. That is why so many subdivisions share the same era. The earliest areas, near the City of Farmington and along Grand River, were laid out with small lots. Some older pockets were built before public sewer and paved roads, so lots and driveways vary from street to street.
Apartments and condos hold the highest density in the city. Trash service is also different there, since the city's pickup covers single-family homes and only certain condos. For a building move, ask your property manager about elevator reservations, loading areas and move-in hours before you pick a date.
Older pockets and 1980s subdivisions
Here are a few places in town and what each one means for a move.
Wood Creek Farms
Laid out as a subdivision in 1937 and a village by 1957. That makes it older than most of the city, so we would want to see stairs, doorways and basement access before quoting.
Quakertown (Quaker Valley Farms)
Started as Quaker Valley Farms and became a village in 1959. A large part of the area was filled in before the city was formed in 1973, so garages and entries can be older than in 1980s subdivisions.
Clarenceville and the Botsford Inn corner
The southeast corner grew around a plank road tavern that is now the Botsford Inn on Grand River. The land near Grand River is among the first built up, with smaller lots and less room to stage a truck.
Orchard Lake Road and Thirteen Mile
A cluster of homes from the 1920s sits here, six of them designed by Emily Butterfield, Michigan's first female architect. Expect older floor plans and tighter staircases than in newer homes.
Farmington Hills Hunt Club
A mid-1980s subdivision south of Eleven Mile and east of Halsted, mostly large colonials with a few ranches. Larger two-story homes mean more stairs, so we would schedule enough crew for a full upstairs.
What changes on move day
Trash, boxes and bulk items
Priority Waste collects weekly for single-family homes. Bulk items like old furniture and mattresses go out on your regular day with no call ahead. Cardboard is accepted but should be broken down, and a cardboard box is not an allowed trash container. Put items out no earlier than 6 PM the night before.
Snow and driveway ridges
Local streets are plowed once snow reaches four inches, and subdivision streets come last. Plows leave a ridge of snow at the base of your driveway, and clearing it is the homeowner's job. For a winter move, clear that ridge the day before so the truck and hand carts have a flat path.
Older streets and small lots
Areas near Grand River and the City of Farmington have smaller lots than the 1980s subdivisions farther out. On a tight street we would send a smaller truck plan and carry a longer distance instead of blocking the road.
Apartment and condo trash
City pickup covers single-family homes and only certain condos. If you are moving out of an apartment or most condo buildings, ask the manager where boxes and old furniture can go before you start carrying them down.

Farmington Hills Moving FAQs
Several zip codes use "Farmington" on the mailing address even for Farmington Hills homes. The two are separate cities, so trash, water and permits come from different offices. Confirm with the city before you book anything that needs a permit or a final water bill.
For single-family homes, yes. Cardboard is accepted but breaking it down is preferred, and bulk items go out on your regular collection day with no call ahead. Apartments and most condos are not part of the city program unless they qualify, so ask your building. Confirm current rules on the city trash page.
The city plows local streets after four inches of snow, and subdivision streets are lowest priority. The ridge left at your driveway is yours to clear. The city also asks residents to keep cars off the street during snow, so tell us if guests or a truck would be parked outside.
It depends on the street, so call the city before move day. Also ask your subdivision association or building manager, since many have their own parking and move-in rules.
