Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for a moving company that talks a good game. You need someone who shows up on time, handles your stuff like it matters, and doesn’t turn a simple move into a three-day ordeal.
Here’s what that looks like. Your furniture arrives without scratches. Your timeline doesn’t get pushed back because the crew didn’t plan for Lake Grove’s narrow side streets or the fact that your building needs elevator reservations. You’re not stuck doing the heavy lifting yourself or scrambling to find last-minute help because your original company bailed.
Whether you’re moving from a studio in Queens to a house in Suffolk County or downsizing from a four-bedroom to something smaller, the process stays straightforward. Load, transport, unload. Done right, with people who’ve handled hundreds of Long Island moves and know exactly what goes wrong when you cut corners.
All Terrain Moving is a family-owned operation based right here on Long Island. We’ve spent years moving families and businesses throughout Lake Grove, Suffolk County, and Nassau County. That means we know which Lake Grove neighborhoods have parking restrictions, when traffic on Stony Brook Road turns a two-hour job into four, and how to navigate buildings that weren’t designed with modern furniture in mind.
Matt and the team have handled everything from emergency same-day moves to full-service relocations with packing included. We’re licensed, insured, and we don’t disappear when you call with a question three days before your move. You’ll talk to the same people who show up at your door.
First, you call or text. We ask about your timeline, what you’re moving, and where you’re going. If you need same-day service, we’ll tell you straight up if we can make it work. No runaround.
Next, we give you a transparent quote. No hidden fees that show up on moving day. If you’ve got a piano, a pool table, or a safe that weighs 800 pounds, we factor that in upfront. If you want packing services because you don’t have time to wrap every dish in your kitchen, we handle that too.
On moving day, the crew shows up with the truck and equipment. We load everything carefully, secure it properly, and drive it to your new place. If you’re moving within Lake Grove, that’s usually a quick trip. If you’re heading from Lake Grove to another part of Suffolk County or beyond, we plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays.
At your new location, we unload, place furniture where you want it, and make sure nothing got damaged in transit. Then we’re out of your way so you can start unpacking.

You get a full-service moving company that handles local moves throughout Lake Grove and Long Island, plus long-distance relocations if you’re leaving the area. That includes residential moves, whether you’re in a small apartment or a 10,000-square-foot house. We also do commercial moves for businesses that can’t afford downtime.
If you’re dealing with a last-minute situation, we specialize in emergency and same-day moving services. Life happens. Leases fall through, closings get moved up, or another company cancels on you with zero notice. We’ve built our schedule to accommodate those situations across Suffolk County and Nassau County.
Junk removal is part of what we do, too. Moving’s the perfect time to get rid of furniture you don’t want to haul to the new place, and we’ll take care of that in the same trip. One truck, one team, less hassle for you.
Lake Grove has its quirks. Older neighborhoods mean tighter streets and less room for a big truck to maneuver. Some buildings require advance notice for elevator use, and if you’re moving during summer, you’re competing with everyone else trying to relocate before school starts. We factor all of that into how we plan your move, so you’re not the one figuring it out on the fly.
It depends on how much you’re moving, how far you’re going, and what services you need. A small apartment move within Lake Grove is going to cost less than relocating a four-bedroom house from Lake Grove to another county. If you need packing services, that adds to the total. Same-day or emergency moves sometimes cost more because of the short notice.
We give you a clear quote upfront based on what you tell us. No surprise charges when we show up. If you’ve got heavy or specialty items like pianos or pool tables, mention those early so we can price them accurately.
Moving costs across Long Island have gone up about 43% in the last few years, so if you’re comparing prices, make sure you’re comparing the same level of service. The cheapest option usually means fewer protections for your stuff and a higher chance something goes wrong.
Yes. We’ve built our business around being available when other companies aren’t. If your original mover cancels, your closing date changes, or you’re dealing with an emergency that requires immediate relocation, call us and we’ll tell you if we can fit you in.
Same-day moves are more common than people think, especially during busy season. We keep our schedule flexible enough to handle last-minute requests throughout Lake Grove, Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens. That said, the earlier you call, the better your chances of getting the exact time slot you want.
We don’t compromise on quality just because it’s a rush job. Same crew, same care with your belongings, same process. We just move faster to meet your deadline.
Yes. Pianos, pool tables, safes, and other heavy or fragile items are part of what we do regularly. These aren’t things you want to trust to a crew that’s never handled them before, and we’ve moved enough of them to know what goes wrong if you don’t use the right equipment or technique.
Pianos need specific padding and securing so they don’t get damaged in the truck. Pool tables have to be disassembled and reassembled correctly or they won’t play right. Safes are just heavy and awkward, and if you don’t have the right dolly and enough people, someone’s getting hurt.
Let us know what you’ve got when you call for a quote. We’ll factor in the extra time and equipment so there’s no confusion on moving day. If it’s in your house and you need it moved, we’ll figure out how to do it safely.
We cover all of Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Queens County for local moves. That includes towns throughout Long Island and the surrounding areas. If you’re moving within Lake Grove, from Lake Grove to another Long Island town, or relocating from NYC to Lake Grove, we handle all of those regularly.
We also do long-distance moves if you’re leaving Long Island entirely. A lot of our customers are either moving to Long Island from the city or relocating within Suffolk County to get more space. We’ve done both enough times to know the routes, the timing, and the logistics that make those moves smoother.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just ask. We’ll tell you straight up if we can help or if you’d be better off with someone else.
It depends on how much time you have and how much you trust your packing skills. If you’ve got weeks to prepare and you’re organized, packing yourself saves money. If you’re moving in a few days, you’re busy with work and family, or you’ve got fragile items you don’t want to risk breaking, hire us to pack.
Professional packing isn’t just about throwing things in boxes. It’s about using the right materials, packing dishes so they don’t shift in transit, and wrapping furniture so it doesn’t get scratched. When we pack, we’re also the ones responsible if something breaks, which gives you more protection than if you packed it yourself.
Most people underestimate how long packing takes. A typical three-bedroom house can take 20-30 hours if you’re doing it right. If that sounds like more time than you have, let us handle it. You’ve got enough to worry about with address changes, utility transfers, and everything else that comes with moving.
If you’re moving during summer or at the end of the month, book as early as you can. Those are the busiest times, and moving companies across Long Island fill up fast. Two to three weeks of notice gives you the best chance of getting your preferred date and time.
If you’re moving during a slower period or mid-month, a week’s notice is usually fine. We’ve also handled plenty of moves with just a day or two of notice, and sometimes even same-day requests, depending on our schedule.
The reality is that life doesn’t always give you advance notice. If you’re in a situation where you need to move quickly, call us anyway. We’ll tell you what we can do and work with your timeline as best we can. Just know that the more flexibility you have with timing, the easier it is for us to fit you in.
