Trusted Movers in Gaithersburg, MD
Your Gaithersburg, MD Moving Team
Gaithersburg is a mix of old and planned. Olde Towne has older homes near the MARC station, while Kentlands and Lakelands are walkable neighborhoods of townhomes and houses with garages on rear alleys, and Montgomery Village, Washingtonian, and Crown fill out the rest with townhomes, condos, and single-family streets. Many households work in the biotech and research campuses along I-270, and a lot of them keep gardens, patios, and houseplants that need their own plan on moving day.
Simple Moving Solutions plans Gaithersburg moves from our Wilmington headquarters, about two hours away, and we hold Maryland HHG license 109. We move people between Montgomery County and Delaware, Chester County, and the Philadelphia suburbs, planned as full-day moves. Every move comes with an itemized quote and trained, insured crews.

Learn moreMoving With Plants
Gaithersburg gardens and patios are full of plants that need their own plan. Tick what you have and when you are moving to see how to get them there safely.
Spring or fall: the easiest seasons for moving plants, though they should still ride with you on long moves.
Houseplants
- Water two or three days before the move, not the day of, so pots are lighter and not dripping.
- Move plants from heavy ceramic pots into plastic nursery pots for the trip; pack the ceramic pots separately.
- Prune leggy growth and stake tall stems so they do not snap.
Large potted trees and floor plants
- Wrap the foliage loosely in an old sheet so branches are not crushed.
- Tell us about any pot over about 50 pounds so we plan the lift.
- Plan a spot by a window at the new home before you arrive.
Succulents and cacti
- Let the soil dry out a few days before the move.
- Wrap spiny plants in newspaper or bubble wrap to protect hands and leaves.
Garden perennials and shrubs
- Check your sale agreement first; landscaping often conveys with the house.
- Dig and pot perennials a week or two ahead so they recover before the trip.
- Water well and keep them shaded until they go in the ground.
Patio herbs and vegetables
- Harvest what you can before moving day.
- Move small pots in a box with crumpled paper to keep them upright.
On longer moves, plants travel best with you in the car; our trucks are not climate controlled. Nothing you enter here is sent or saved.

When to Move in Gaithersburg
I-270 traffic, fair week, and HOA rules all shape a Gaithersburg moving day. Here is what we plan around.
I-270 rush hours
I-270 is one of the busiest commuter roads in the region. We plan the drive north around rush hour.
County fair week
The Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in August brings heavy traffic around the fairgrounds.
HOA move rules
Kentlands, Lakelands, and Montgomery Village communities often set truck and move-hour rules.
Summer heat and plants
Summer moves are hard on plants and electronics in a closed truck. Plan for plants to ride with you.
Summer peak
June through August is peak moving season. Book four to six weeks ahead.
Winter moves
Winter dates are easier to book, and we bring floor protection for snow and slush.

Gaithersburg, MD Movers FAQs
Do you move plants?
On short local moves, potted plants can sometimes ride on the truck. On longer moves, plants should travel with you in the car, because our trucks are not climate controlled. The plant guide on this page shows how to prepare them.
Can you move me from Gaithersburg to Delaware or Pennsylvania?
Yes. Moves between Montgomery County and Delaware, Chester County, and the Philadelphia suburbs are the most common we plan here, with the same crew at both ends.
Do you do local moves within Gaithersburg?
Our headquarters is in Wilmington, about two hours away, so we focus on moves between Gaithersburg and Delaware, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the East Coast. Contact us about a local move and we will tell you whether we can schedule it.
Can you load from the alley behind a Kentlands townhome?
Often, yes. We look at the alley width and any HOA rules and decide with you whether the truck loads from the front or the back.
Are you licensed in Maryland?
Yes. Simple Relocations, LLC holds Maryland HHG license 109, plus USDOT 4531853 and MC 1797073 for interstate moves.
What items can you not move?
We cannot move hazardous materials, such as propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, and pool chemicals, or perishable food on long-distance moves. Contact us for guidance on specialty items.
