Roy Winter Storm Cleanup
After a winter storm passes, we handle the full cleanup so your driveway, lot, and walkways are clear and safe again.
Winter Storm Cleanup in Roy covers the work after a heavy snowfall: clearing lots, drives and walkways, and treating ice so people and vehicles can move again. Washington Snow Removal is licensed, bonded and insured, and we dispatch from our yard in Bothell, WA.
Roy does not get much snow. The average is 6.2 in per season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. But when a storm hits, it can be large. The biggest storm since 2005 dropped 15.4 in. Call 206-809-9669 to talk through your property.

What Winter Storm Cleanup Involves in Roy, WA
Roy sees snow rarely, so most properties have no plow contract and no stockpile of salt. When a storm arrives, the work is often urgent and one-time. Reports of heavy snow since 2005 number 11, including Feb 8, 2019, Feb 5, 2017, Feb 8, 2014 and Dec 21, 2008. The biggest single day in that span was 8.3 in.
Cleanup is matched to the property and the depth of snow. Depending on the site, a visit can include:
- Plowing lots and driveways with a Ram 3500 or Ram 5500 plow truck
- Moving deeper or stacked snow with a Kubota SCL1000 compact track loader
- Shoveling walks, steps and entries by hand
- Spreading bulk salt or bagged ice melt on ice
Ice is a bigger issue here than depth. Roy has 42 freezing nights from October to April, so meltwater from a cleared storm can refreeze overnight. Treating surfaces after clearing matters.
Roy is 104 minutes from our Bothell yard. That is why dispatches to Roy carry a trip charge of $525, and every dispatch has a 2-hour minimum. Hourly rates and material prices are listed on our pricing details, and we can go over them by phone at 206-809-9669 before you book.
