Dust Control for Spokane's Gravel Roads & Driveways
If you live on a gravel road or have a long gravel driveway anywhere in Spokane County, you already know the summer routine: a rooster tail of dust behind every vehicle, a fine brown film on the house and the cars, and washboard ruts that get worse every week. Clear Roads Dust Control puts an end to it. We're a locally owned dust control company specializing in magnesium chloride application for gravel roads, private lanes, and driveways throughout Spokane and the surrounding unincorporated county.
From the gravel roads of Moran Prairie and Glenrose on the South Hill, to the orchards and acreages around Green Bluff, Colbert, and Mead to the north, our region's dry Inland Northwest summers turn untreated gravel into airborne dust by June. We treat the surface once, and it stays knocked down through the dusty months — protecting your air quality, your vehicles, and your road itself.
Why Spokane Property Owners Choose Clear Roads Dust Control
Locally owned and operated. We live and work in the Spokane region. We know the roads, the seasons, and the kind of basalt-and-clay gravel that's common around here.
Licensed, insured, and bonded. Dust abatement is a chemical application on (sometimes) public and shared roads. We carry the proper licensing and insurance so you're covered.
Magnesium chloride that actually lasts. Magnesium chloride is hygroscopic — it pulls moisture out of the air and holds it in the road surface, binding the fine particles together so they stay put. A single properly-timed application keeps the dust down through the dry season, unlike a water truck that's dry again in an hour.
Free, no-pressure measurement and quote. We measure your road or driveway, confirm the footage, and give you an honest price before any work begins.
We work with the county. Spokane County maintains an approved dust-abatement contractors list for residents who want treatment on county-maintained gravel roads. We'll walk you through how that process works.

Arena, Farm & Ranch Dust Control
Riding arenas, feedlots, and ranch roads all benefit from magnesium chloride dust control — healthier air for animals and people, less dust drifting onto neighboring property.
How Dust Control Works
Magnesium chloride isn't a temporary fix like spraying water. As a deliquescent salt, it continuously draws humidity from the air down into the top layer of your gravel, keeping it slightly damp and binding the fine dust particles into a firm, stable crust. The result:
- Far less airborne dust — cleaner air, better visibility, healthier lungs
- Less gravel loss — fine material stays in the road instead of blowing away, so you re-gravel less often
- Fewer potholes and washboards — a bound surface resists rutting
- Lower maintenance costs — less grading, less dust, less re-rocking over time

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to apply dust control in Spokane?
Late spring through early summer, once the road has been graded and the surface is workable but the dry season is setting in. Treating before the worst of the summer dust gives you the longest-lasting results.
How long does one application last?
A properly-timed magnesium chloride application typically controls dust for the full dry season. Heavy traffic, fresh grading, or an unusually wet-then-dry cycle can affect longevity, and many customers re-treat annually.
Do you treat private roads shared by several homes?
Yes — this is one of our most common Spokane County jobs. We measure the shared road once and give neighbors a single price to split however they like.
Is magnesium chloride safe?
Magnesium chloride is a widely used, well-established dust control product. We apply it at calibrated rates designed to control dust effectively while being mindful of roadside vegetation and runoff.
