Controlling Dust After Application with a Gravel Truck

• Carefully choose the type of gravel you apply. Some limestone gravels can dust severely while some glacial deposits of gravel with a portion of highly plastic clay can take on a strong binding characteristic that will resist dusting remarkably well.


• Maintain as much natural vegetation as possible. The use of temporary mulching, permanent mulching, temporary vegetative cover, permanent vegetative cover, or sodding will reduce the need for dust control.


• Water or calcium chloride can help to control dusting by preserving the moisture level in the road surface materials.
