Roy UTV Snow Plowing
Our UTV plow units combine maneuverability with more pushing power for medium-sized properties and complexes.
Washington Snow Removal offers UTV snow plowing in Roy, Pierce County. A UTV fits where a full-size truck does not: narrow drives, gated lots, walkways and tight corners. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and we dispatch from our Bothell yard.
Snow is not frequent in Roy. The average is 6.2 in per season, and an average season has 1.82 plow events. When snow does come, you need a plan that is clear on cost and on what the job covers. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property.

How UTV Snow Plowing Works at Roy Properties
A UTV plow is a good match for small areas that still need clearing: private drives, sidewalks, parking pads and paths around buildings. It can reach spots that a larger truck would block or damage.
Roy sees snow on few days. Only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. But the nights get cold, with 42 freezing nights from October through April. Light snow days that need deicing average 3.45. So many calls are about thin snow that turns to ice, not deep plowing.
Big storms do happen. In February 2021, spotters at Yelm, near Roy, reported 4 in on Feb 11, 7 in on Feb 12 and 10 in on Feb 13. A multi-day event like that is why it helps to have a plan in place before the snow arrives.
