Roy Sidewalk Tractor Service
Our compact sidewalk tractors clear and treat walkways too narrow for trucks in a single efficient pass.
Washington Snow Removal offers sidewalk tractor service in Roy, Pierce County. We use a compact track loader with an operator, a Kubota SCL1000, to clear walkways and paths that are too long or too packed for hand shoveling alone.
Roy gets about 6.2 in of snow in an average season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. When it does snow, the job can be large and sudden. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property.

Sidewalk tractor service in Roy: what to expect
Sidewalk tractor service means a compact track loader with an operator clears walkways, entry paths and edges of lots. Crew members follow with shovels for steps, doorways and tight corners. Where needed, we spread bagged ice melt on the cleared surface.
Roy snow is infrequent, but it can be heavy. The area sees about 4 days a year with snow on the ground. The biggest storm since 2005 ran Jan 15-19, 2012, and dropped 12.9 in, with 8.3 in on the biggest day. Feb 9, 2019 brought 7.4 in in one day. Nov 22-23, 2010 brought 7.3 in. A storm like these leaves walkways hard to clear by hand.
Ice is the more common issue. Roy has 42 freezing nights from Oct to Apr, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year need deicing even when there is nothing to plow.
