1-Box by One Stop Moving · La Mesa
On La Mesa's hills the first question is where a container can sit level. We confirm that before delivery; then you load at ground height and decide whether it stays, goes to our facility or moves across the county for one $150 round trip.

We found no La Mesa rule on containers on a private residential driveway. Work in the city right-of-way, such as a temporary dumpster placed there, needs a La Mesa encroachment permit, and the city requires a bond or cash deposit for it.
City sourceLa Mesa calls itself the Jewel of the Hills. Hills and canyons mean many driveways slope, and the slope decides where a container can sit level.
SourceIn La Mesa the first question is rarely size. It is slope. The city is built across hills and canyons, so plenty of driveways tilt toward the street. We set every container level, which means the grade of your driveway decides where it can go.
We don't judge that from an address. When you reserve, describe the driveway: which way it falls, where it flattens out, and whether trees or wires hang over it. The delivery truck needs roughly 12 feet of vertical clearance, so a low branch can matter as much as the grade. We confirm the placement before delivery day, not on the morning the truck arrives.
Once the container is down, the hills stop mattering. A Standard 1-Box is 5×8×8 ft with 320 cubic feet inside, and a Large is 7×8×8 ft with 448 cubic feet. Both load at ground level, with no ramp to push a dresser up. If you would rather not carry furniture down a sloped path yourself, two of our movers can load it for $139 an hour, with a 3-hour minimum. Not sure which size you need? Compare the two containers.
After that, the box can live in one of three places. It can stay on your driveway while you remodel, so everything is within reach. We can collect it sealed and keep it at our facility in Sorrento Valley, where you can get to it during business hours if you call ahead. Or we can hold it until your next home is ready and deliver it anywhere in San Diego County, which is the usual answer when closing dates don't line up. A move is one $150 round trip, the same charge as delivery, and a container kept at our facility stays on its monthly rate.
Reserve online or call (858) 633-8600. Tell us how the driveway slopes and where it levels out, and we confirm a level spot before delivery day.
The doors open at ground height and lock with your own padlock. Rentals are month to month with no minimum, so take a weekend or a whole season.
Give us 24 hours' notice and we collect it for our facility or take it to another address in the county; either one is a single $150 round trip. Plans changed before delivery? Cancellation is free up to 24 hours ahead.

A Standard container in La Mesa is $99 a month and a Large is $175, the same rate we charge across San Diego County. Delivery and pickup are a one-time $150 per rental, there is no deposit, and 25 moving boxes are included. Loading help from two movers is $139 an hour.
It can, as long as there is a spot where it sits level. We don't guess from the address: tell us how your driveway slopes when you reserve, and we confirm the placement before delivery day. If no level spot works, ask us about storing your belongings at our facility instead.
Plan on one. La Mesa requires an encroachment permit for any work in the city right-of-way and lists temporary dumpsters placed there as an example. Containers are not named, so confirm with the city, which also requires a bond or cash deposit. We found no La Mesa rule on containers on private residential driveways.
