Walkway Snow and Ice Work in Roy, Pierce County
Walkway work is hand work. A crew member shovels the walks, clears the entry areas and spreads ice melt where frost or packed snow leaves a slick surface. We do not need heavy equipment for most walkways, though a compact track loader with operator is available for larger sites.
Roy's pattern is mostly quiet with occasional sharp storms. Days with 1 in or more of snow average 1.8 a year, and days that stay below freezing average 1.1. The 42 freezing nights between Oct and Apr matter more for walkways. Meltwater and damp pavement can refreeze overnight and leave ice that was not there at dusk.
