Roy ATV Snow Plowing
Our plow-equipped ATVs clear tight residential drives and pathways that full-size trucks cannot reach.
Washington Snow Removal offers ATV snow plowing in Roy, Pierce County. An ATV fits where a truck does not: narrow private drives, gated lanes, yard paths and small parking pads. We are based in Bothell, WA, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
Roy averages 6.2 in of snow per season, so plowing here is occasional work. Most winters bring only a few days with real accumulation. When snow does fall, a small machine can clear a drive quickly. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property.

How ATV snow plowing works in Roy, WA
An ATV with a plow blade suits the small jobs a full-size truck handles poorly. Think long rural driveways, tight turnarounds, walkways to a barn or shop, and spots where a truck would tear up turf or gravel edges.
Roy sees about 1.8 days a year with 1 in or more of snow, and 0.57 Winter Storm Warnings a year. Big events are rare, but they happen. In February 2021, spotters near Yelm reported 11 in on Feb 13 and 4 in on Feb 11. Snow like that can leave a private drive blocked for days if no one plows it.
Ice is the more common problem. Roy has 42 freezing nights from October to April, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing. A thin layer of snow can freeze into a slick surface on a drive or path, so we can also spread ice melt after plowing.
