Garages and storage are usually hardest to pack. They are full of strange shaped, sharp or heavy items that require special attention to be packed the right way.
First get rid of items that cannot be moved. These include chemicals, fertilizers, oil and gas. Group similar items together. Get enough boxes and newsprint for the packing.
Long-handled garden tools should be securely packed together. Remove the attachments and pack them separately.
Leave the hand tools in tool boxes and fill the empty spaces with crushed paper. Use small cartons for heavy tools. Wrap the sharp-edged tools in old towels.
Do not pack brooms, rakes and shovels. Just gather them together and the driver will bundle them in a pad.
Remove all the pads and pack them in large cartons. Clean the frames.
Remove the stand and leave it unpacked. Wrap the umbrella in paper padding or plastic to keep it dry during transport.
Remove and dispose of unused charcoal. Take out the fuel tank – it cannot be transported in the moving van.
Sort out the things that you will not take with you. Dismantle children’s swing sets and garden sheds that will be moved.
Pack small hardware in plastic bags or small boxes and label them.
Attach the plastic bags with small hardware to the item they belong to.
Drain and dispose any unused gasoline.
Wrap ceramic pots and planters individually with plenty of cushioning. If you want to move large or unusual pots, consult your moving adviser.
Usually it is easier buy new garbage cans at your destination instead of moving the old ones.
If you plan to move your cans with you clean them well.
You can use the cans to pack large and light items in them.

I am very pleased to write a review of my experience with Matrix Relocations. This is the third time that I have moved in the last four years. My previous moving experiences with moving companies in Greece were less that satisfactory and needless to say, I was a bit nervous about this major move, having to make arrangements from hundreds of miles away.
After describing the nature of the move, they gave me an esitimate on the phone. He asked me to email him with the exact list of items, addresses and expectations. He immediately responded to the email and confirmed the price which was very reasonable. Nervious me, called a few times over the weeks to confirm the move. Each time I was reassured that it was a go. The day before the move he called me and confirmed the time and details. I was now very confident that the move was going to go smoothly.
I can't tell you how impressed I was with the professionalism and work ethic of the movers. They were also very nice people and I enjoyable to talking to them. The packing was efficient and very impressive.
There were no additional charges. How nice...
Undoubtedly, Matrix Relocations made this stressful move a pleasure.
I highly recommend Matrix Relocations. I only wish that I had found them sooner for my previous moves.
