Edgewood Gated Community Snow Removal
We clear entry gates, interior roads, and common walkways for gated Western Washington communities under one coordinated plan.
Gated communities in Edgewood have entry gates, private roads, and shared sidewalks that the county will not plow. Washington Snow Removal clears them for HOAs and property managers. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and we work out of our Bothell yard, 66 minutes from Edgewood.
Edgewood averages 6.8 in of snow a season, and only 2.1 days a year bring 1 in or more. Storms are rare, but they can be heavy. The biggest single day since 2005 dropped 7.9 in. Call 206-809-9669 to plan service for your community.

How Gated Community Snow Removal Works in Edgewood
A gated community needs more than a plowed street. Plows must clear the entry lanes and keep the gate path open so residents and emergency vehicles can get through. Tight cul-de-sacs and shared walkways often need smaller equipment or hand work.
Edgewood sees about 30 freezing nights from October to April. Meltwater from a light snow can refreeze on private roads and sidewalks overnight, so ice control matters as much as plowing. Big storms are uncommon but real. Feb 8-12, 2019 brought 11.6 in in total, and Feb 12-15, 2021 brought 10.8 in. Feb 5-6, 2017 put 7.9 in down in one day.
Work at a gated community can include:
- Plowing private roads and entry lanes with a Ram 3500 or Ram 5500
- Using a Kubota SCL1000 compact track loader in tight spots
- Shoveling sidewalks, steps and mailbox areas by hand
- Applying bagged ice melt or bulk salt
Rates are $250 per hour for the Ram 3500 plow truck and $325 per hour for the Ram 5500 plow and spreader truck. The loader is $175 per hour, and crew members are $110 per person-hour. Bulk salt applied is $300 per ton. Each dispatch has a 2-hour minimum and a $350 trip charge for Edgewood.
