Strathcona County in numbers
Statistics Canada counts Sherwood Park as part of Strathcona County. The county itself says Sherwood Park is home to more than 75,000 people.
| Measure | Strathcona County (incl. Sherwood Park) | City of Edmonton |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 99,225 (up 1.2% from 2016) | 1,010,899 |
| Land area | 1,170.65 km² | 765.61 km² |
| Single-detached homes | 80% | 50% |
| Apartments (all types) | 8% | 33% |
| Movable dwellings | 2.5% | 0.5% |
Sources: Statistics Canada 2021 Census profiles for Strathcona County and Edmonton; the Sherwood Park figure is from Strathcona County.
- Mostly houses: eight homes in ten are single-detached, against half in Edmonton, so plan for stairs and often a basement or garage rather than an elevator booking.
- A big county: more land than the City of Edmonton, so a rural pickup and a Sherwood Park delivery can be a real drive apart.
- Movable homes: 2.5% of homes, five times Edmonton's share. Moving out of one? Send photos of the door, the steps and the hallway.
Sherwood Park moving rates
A move within Sherwood Park, or between Sherwood Park and Edmonton or another community we serve nearby, has a flat price for the first 3 hours. Acreages elsewhere in rural Strathcona County are priced in a written quote instead, so send the address and the driveway details.
- 2 movers and a truck: $750 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $150/hr)
- 3 movers and a truck: $950 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $195/hr)
- 4 movers and a truck: $1,200 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $245/hr); 4-hour minimum
- 5 movers and 2 trucks: $1,600 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $325/hr); 4-hour minimum
The flat price for the first 3 hours is the same on every date. Rates can be higher on busy dates (Friday to Sunday, May to September and around month-end). The booking form shows the exact hourly rate for your date. All prices are before GST (5%).
Packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, pianos, safes, gym equipment, hot tubs and extra stops are confirmed by our Edmonton team before your move. A move out of the Edmonton region gets one written flat quote, and a rural address gets a written quote: for either, use our quote form rather than the booking form. Ready to pick a date? Send a booking request, or see all our Edmonton rates first.
Moves inside Sherwood Park
With both addresses in Sherwood Park, the truck spends more time parked than driving, so the job is decided at the doors: the number of rooms, the carry from truck to entrance, and any basement or garage.
- House to house: count the garage and basement as rooms; workbenches, chest freezers and patio sets add up.
- House to condo: about 13% of the county's homes are condominiums. Most condo and apartment buildings set their own move rules (elevator bookings, time windows, deposits or fees) through bylaws or building rules, so check with your property manager early.
- Street parking: parking and permit rules in Strathcona County are set by the county, not the City of Edmonton. Check with them if the truck cannot use your driveway.
Sherwood Park to Edmonton and back
Google Maps puts Sherwood Park about 16 km from downtown Edmonton, roughly 22 minutes by car in late-morning traffic via Baseline Road; the route via Sherwood Drive and the Sherwood Park Freeway is about 20 km. The main routes into Edmonton:
- Baseline Road, the fastest route to downtown in that check.
- Sherwood Park Freeway and Sherwood Drive, the main alternative.
- Hwy 16, which becomes Yellowhead Trail in north Edmonton, where freeway-conversion work is expected until about the end of 2027.
- Anthony Henday Drive (east leg), part of the ring road the Province describes as about 80 km of free-flow travel around Edmonton.
Google Maps car driving time without stops, from downtown Edmonton (checked September 2026). A loaded moving truck with breaks and hours-of-service limits takes longer; your quote sets the actual schedule.

Acreage move checklist for rural Strathcona County
Beyond Sherwood Park, rural hamlets such as Ardrossan, Josephburg and South Cooking Lake sit among the county's acreages. An acreage move is planned from the road in. If you are comparing Strathcona County movers for a rural property, ask each one how they plan the approach, then work through this list.
Driveway and turning room
- Note the driveway length and surface: paved, gravel or grass.
- Check the gate width and any low branches or wires on the approach.
- Find where a large truck can turn or back in near the house; if there is nowhere, the crew may carry farther.
- Mark the septic field, well head and buried lines so the truck stays off them.
Ground and season
- After a spring thaw or heavy rain, a loaded truck may need to stay on the hard surface.
- July is the wettest month on average, so plan for soft ground after summer storms as well as the spring thaw (Environment and Climate Change Canada 1981–2010 normals, Edmonton International Airport).
- In winter, clear and sand the driveway and load in daylight: Edmonton gets about 7.5 hours of it near the December solstice (timeanddate.com, 2026 tables). See our winter moving guide.
Shop, barn and sheds
- Decide what is leaving each outbuilding and sea-can before you ask for a quote.
- Empty any safe first (firearms, ammunition, cash and valuables travel with you), then send make, model, weight and photos of safes, gym equipment and heavy tool chests. See safe and gym equipment moves.
- Most movers will not carry fuel, propane or paint, so drain small engines and move those yourself.
- List ride-on mowers, ATVs and other large equipment, and we will confirm in writing what we can take.
On the day
- Send a dropped map pin with the address, since rural addresses can be hard to find.
- Prop the gates open and keep dogs and livestock away from the loading path.
Send with an acreage quote request: a photo of the driveway from the road, its rough length and surface, the gate width, where a truck could stand and what is in the outbuildings. Then request your written quote.

Packing

Sherwood Park and acreage moving questions
Do you move acreages in rural Strathcona County?
Tell us the acreage address and your destination, and we will confirm in your written quote. The county covers about 1,170 square kilometres of land, with rural hamlets such as Ardrossan, Josephburg and South Cooking Lake, so a rural pickup can differ a lot from a Sherwood Park street.
How far is Sherwood Park from downtown Edmonton?
About 16 km, or roughly 22 minutes by car in late-morning traffic via Baseline Road, according to Google Maps directions from downtown Edmonton checked in September 2026. The route via Sherwood Drive and the Sherwood Park Freeway is about 20 km. A loaded truck and the loading at each address add time, so your written quote sets the actual schedule.
What should acreage owners prepare before moving day?
Two weeks out, send photos of the driveway and gate and decide what leaves each outbuilding. The day before, clear snow or mark soft spots, drain fuel from small engines and mark the septic field. On moving morning, open the gates and keep pets and livestock away from the loading path.
Planning a Sherwood Park or county move?
Send both addresses, the home type and, for an acreage, a photo of the approach. Your quote comes in writing before move day.
