Lakewood Trigger-Depth Snow Removal
We dispatch automatically once snow reaches your chosen trigger depth so clearing starts at a consistent Western Washington threshold.
Trigger-depth snow removal means we clear your property once snow reaches a set depth. For Washington Snow Removal, that depth is 1 inch of accumulation. Below that, we do not plow. At 1 inch or more, service starts.
Lakewood does not see much snow. An average season brings 5.0 in, and a median season brings 3.8 in. A single-car driveway with front walk and steps starts at $220 per visit. A two-car driveway starts at $330. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669 with questions.

How Trigger-Depth Service Works in Lakewood, WA
A trigger depth keeps the work tied to real snow. In Lakewood, that matters because snow is infrequent. Lakewood averages 1.6 days a year with 1 in or more of snow, and snow sits on the ground about 3 days a year. About 62% of winters have at least one 1-inch day, so some winters have none.
When snow does arrive, it can matter. The Lakewood area has logged Heavy Snow on Feb 8, 2014 and Dec 21, 2008. It has also logged an Ice Storm on Dec 23, 2022 and Winter Weather on Dec 1, 2022. Ice is a separate problem from depth, since a plow cannot lift a glaze. Lakewood has 35 freezing nights from October to April, so refreezing is a real concern.
What a visit covers at a home:
- Driveway clearing once accumulation reaches 1 inch
- Front walk and steps, included in the per-visit price
- Deicing as a separate application, from $100 per visit
Seasonal plans are priced from Lakewood's snow history, about 1.62 plow visits in an average season. The single-car plan starts at $550 and the two-car plan at $825, each for up to 4 visits. Visits beyond the limit are half the per-visit price. An ice plan add-on starts at $360 per season.
