The Orland Move, Handled by a Local Crew.

Orland grew up around olive groves and almond orchards, and that agricultural identity still shapes what a move here actually looks like. Murdock’s Moving & Storage handles Orland out of our Yuba City yard, and a good share of the jobs are acreage properties with more than just a house to account for — sheds, shops, and equipment that a downtown apartment move never has to deal with.

Orchard Country Living Means Acreage Moves

Properties on Orland's outskirts often come with decades of accumulated outbuildings — a workshop, an equipment shed, sometimes a second smaller structure that's been used for storage for years. We ask about all of it up front, not just the main house, so the crew and truck size match the actual job rather than a guess based on bedroom count. Families settling into orchard properties, or downsizing out of one after generations, both benefit from our residential moving team scoping the full property.

East Park Reservoir and the Summer Slowdown

East Park Reservoir, up in the foothills west of town, pulls in boaters, campers, and fishermen on summer weekends, and that traffic runs right along Road 200 and Newville Road — routes that also serve a lot of Orland's rural properties. We schedule around it when we can, and we plan for it when we can't. Combined with the same Central Valley heat that affects Yuba City and Sutter County moves, summer Orland jobs get an early start whenever the family's schedule allows.

A Small Downtown With Big Rural Reach

Orland's compact commercial core near 4th and Colusa Streets makes for easy, if tight, in-town moves, but the town's real footprint stretches out through miles of irrigation-district farmland managed by canal roads that occasionally restrict access, especially during spring water deliveries. Whether the job is a downtown bungalow or an orchard property ten miles out, we plan the route before the truck ever leaves the yard.
