Start with the service that fits your home, then add what you need.
Apartment and villa moves come with building rules, and our movers follow them. We work with property management on move times and schedule elevators where a building has them.
Two movers and a truck are billed by the hour for a local move, with a 2-hour minimum, or 3-hour minimum during peak season (May through September). Beds, bookshelves, and desks come apart and go back together at no extra charge.
Our movers box, wrap, and label everything, room by room. That helps when you move from an older home into a rebuilt one with a different layout.
City bulky pickup takes only one small item a month through 2026, so a sofa or an old dresser needs another way out. We pack and haul away furniture, appliances, construction debris, and green waste, and we recycle where we can.
Moving out of state from Prairie Village? We handle long distance moves that start in Kansas City, with the same quote-holds-on-moving-day promise.
For a move in Prairie Village we charge by the hour for two movers and a truck.

The number moves with the job. Basement and second-floor stairs add time. So does a long walk from where the truck parks to your door. A home we pack takes longer than one you pack, and a longer drive between homes adds hours. Apartment elevators can add waiting time as well.
Prairie Village homes fall into a few groups, and each group changes how our movers plan the day.
J.C. Nichols platted Prairie Village in 1941, and about 61 percent of its homes were built between 1940 and 1960. Older single-family homes, including 1950s ranches, still make up most of the market. Measure large sofas and headboards before moving day, and our movers take apart what will not fit.
Most new single-family permits in Prairie Village are teardown and rebuild projects, with the most pressure in the east-central part of the city. A rebuild next door can bring contractor trucks and dumpsters that take curb space. Tell us about any work on your block when you book, and we plan where the truck parks.
Six associations, Countryside East, Corinth Downs, Paddock Court, Corinth Place Villas, Town and Country, and Village Park, run their own trash service instead of the city program. An association may also set its own move rules. Call your association for move hours before you book.
These answers cover the local questions that come up most.
Yes, city trash, recycling, and yard waste pickup is included in your Prairie Village property taxes. Six homes associations handle their own service, so check with yours if you live in one.

You have 90 days after you establish a Kansas residence to register your vehicle. Bring your original title, a Kansas Highway Patrol VIN inspection, proof of insurance, and your old registration.
Tell us about the construction when you book, and we plan truck parking around it. Teardown and rebuild projects are common in Prairie Village, so it helps to ask the builder about delivery days.
New to the city? Here is what to set up in your first weeks.
Water comes from WaterOne and electricity from Evergy. Gas service is Kansas Gas Service, and wastewater runs through Johnson County Wastewater. For cable and internet, the city lists Spectrum, AT&T, and Google Fiber.
Republic Services collects trash, recycling, and yard waste weekly, and the cost is in your property taxes. Until the end of 2026, bulky pickup takes one small item a month, no bigger than 2 feet by 2 feet or 45 pounds. GFL Environmental starts January 1, 2027, with three bulk items a month.
Register your car within 90 days of moving to Kansas. Get a VIN inspection from the Kansas Highway Patrol first, then visit the Mission or Olathe Motor Vehicle Office. Johnson County offers online queueing so you can hold your place in line.
