Roy 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 plow when snow reaches a set depth. In Roy, that depth is 1 inch of accumulation. You do not have to call each time. Washington Snow Removal, based in Bothell, is licensed, bonded and insured.
Roy does not see much snow. An average season brings 6.2 inches, and a typical season brings 3.1 inches. But storms do happen. Pricing starts at $240 per visit for a single-car driveway and $360 for a two-car driveway, both including the front walk and steps.

How Trigger-Depth Service Works in Roy, Pierce County
At a Roy home, a visit covers the driveway, the front walk and the steps. Once 1 inch has accumulated, we clear them. Many winters bring only a light dusting, and the plan is built around that pattern.
Roy averages 1.8 days a year with 1 inch or more of snow. About 73% of winters have at least one such day. Heavy-snow days of 4 inches or more are rare, at 0.18 a year. An average season has about 1.82 plow events. Our seasonal plans are priced from that history.
Rare does not mean never. Since 2005, Roy has had three big storms:
- Feb 11-15, 2021: 15.4 in total, 7.1 in on the biggest day
- Feb 5-6, 2017: 9.9 in total, 6.5 in on the biggest day
- Nov 22-23, 2010: 7.3 in total, 5.8 in on the biggest day

Seasonal plans start at $600 for a single-car driveway and $900 for a two-car driveway, each covering up to 4 visits. Visits beyond the limit cost half the per-visit price. Call 206-809-9669 to set up service.
