Backyard moves and heavy-item relocation — La Vista, NE
Midwest Hot Tub Movers provides careful, insured moving for hot tubs, spas, and other heavy items that must be moved into yards, patios, or tight spaces. We handle planning, permitting guidance, equipment, and on-site safety to keep your property protected.
What we move
- Hot tubs and portable spas
- Large landscape boulders and statuary
- Pool equipment and above-ground pool sections
- Large planters, fountains, and pergola components
- Large appliances and oversized furniture when yard access is required
How we work
Every move starts with a site visit or detailed photos from you. We assess access points, grade, and obstacles; recommend the safest route into the yard; and match the right equipment and crew size to the job. Safety is the priority: we use rigging systems, dollies, tracked carriers, and lifting straps rated for the loads we handle.

Safety and insurance
Our crews carry liability coverage and follow updated safety protocols for rigging and heavy lifting. We document pre- and post-move conditions and maintain clear communication so you always know the schedule and the steps we will take to protect your property.
Pricing and estimates
We offer straightforward estimates that reflect the actual work required: crew size, equipment rental, time on site, and any permits. Quotes are provided after an initial assessment to avoid surprises. For urgent needs we provide expedited bookings when crews and equipment are available.
Preparing your site
Simple steps you can do before we arrive:
- Mark the intended final placement
- Clear a 6–8 foot radius around access points
- Provide photos of the route and any potential obstacles
Why choose local professionals
Local crews know regional soil conditions, typical property layouts, and municipal requirements. That local knowledge shortens planning time, reduces risk, and often saves money compared with national chains unfamiliar with specific neighborhood quirks.
Customer commitments
Every job comes with:
- Clear estimate and scope of work in writing
- Insured, trained crew
- Careful handling and documented before/after photos
What to expect on move day
The crew arrives on time with the agreed equipment and confirms the placement and route with you. We use protective materials to shield decking and lawn areas, and we position stabilizing boards to protect soft ground. Moves are completed methodically — piece by piece — with constant checks on load balance and strain points. If any unforeseen condition arises we stop and consult with you before proceeding.
Aftercare and follow-up
We leave the area clean, remove any temporary protection, and take final photos. If you have questions after the move or need minor adjustments, contact our office and we will advise on next steps or schedule a short return visit if required.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle delivery from retailers? Yes — we coordinate with retailers and can receive items onsite if instructed.
Can you move a hot tub over uneven ground? Yes, with proper planning and the correct equipment.
What if the route is too narrow? We discuss alternate options such as crane lift or partial disassembly during the estimate.

Project examples and case notes
Example 1 — Residential spa placement: A homeowner in La Vista needed a 700-pound portable spa placed on a backyard patio with a narrow gate and soft turf. We assessed the route, added temporary boards, and used a tracked carrier to move the spa without damaging the lawn. Final placement included leveling pads and a short orientation for the homeowner on maintenance access.
Example 2 — Landscape feature relocation: A property owner required two large decorative boulders moved from the front to the back yard. The path included a steep grade and limited turning radius. We used rigging straps and a small skid-steer with lifting forks to move each piece safely and positioned the boulders on pre-arranged pads.
Equipment and tools we commonly use
- Tracked carriers and low-profile dollies for fragile surfaces
- Winches and lifting straps rated for heavy loads
- Protective boards and mats to shield lawns and driveways
- Small cranes or boom lifts for vertical placement when necessary
- Hand tools for minor disassembly and reassembly on site
Pre-move checklist for homeowners
Follow these steps to streamline the move:
- Clear the intended route of furniture, toys, and debris.
- Trim tree limbs that obstruct overhead access.
- Mark sprinkler heads and any buried utilities so crews can avoid them.
- Confirm that pets and children are kept away from the work area during the move.
- Have a designated contact on-site who can make placement decisions.
Maintenance tips after placement
Once a heavy item is in place, take a few simple steps to prolong its condition and prevent issues:
- Allow freshly disturbed turf to settle; avoid heavy foot traffic for a week if possible.
- Inspect support pads or blocking for signs of settling over the first 30 days.
- For hot tubs, maintain proper covers and check electrical connections only with a qualified electrician present.
