Dust Control

Dust is rarely just a nuisance. It is a health risk to the people working in it, a safety risk when it takes visibility away, a compliance exposure when it crosses a boundary, and a relationship problem with neighbours and councils that can outlast the job that caused it. Managing it well is a matter of judgement rather than product. The right treatment depends on what the surface is made of, what it has to carry, how long it needs to hold, what the weather is about to do, and what the receiving environment will tolerate. Get that assessment right and the treatment lasts. Get it wrong and it fails, usually within days, and usually publicly.

We hold the range, and we choose from it

Evergreen Landcare works across the full range of dust suppression: polymer binders, surface stabilisers and hydraulically applied treatments, alongside the erosion control and stabilisation products we apply every day.

We are not tied to one product, and we do not have a single answer we apply everywhere. We select from across the market, we test what comes available, and we change when something better arrives.

What that means for you is that the recommendation follows your site rather than our stock.

Matching the treatment to the surface

A haul road carrying loaded trucks and a finished earthworks platform fail in completely different ways, and they need different chemistry. Trafficked surfaces need a treatment that stays flexible and re-knits under wheel load. Untrafficked ground needs one that forms a harder, more weather-resistant skin. Sensitive receiving environments narrow the options again.

Applying the wrong one is the most common reason a dust treatment does not hold. We ask what the surface does before we tell you what should go on it.

Where we work

Unsealed public and private roads, quarries and extraction sites, haul routes, commercial and industrial yards and depots, stockpiles, bulk earthworks, subdivisions and construction sites — anywhere from a single yard to a corridor.

Applied by the same crews who stabilise your site

We apply by water truck or through our hydro units, which means dust treatment can be combined with stabilisation, seeding or erosion control in the same visit and on the same programme. One contractor, one point of responsibility, and no coordination between trades that do not talk to each other.

A programme, not a one-off

Most dust problems are seasonal and recurring, and a single application is rarely the answer. We set a programme against the site — what gets treated, when, and what triggers a return — then monitor it and adjust as conditions change through the season.

Our selection standard holds whatever the product: non-hazardous classification under GHS, not classified as a dangerous good for transport, and not classified as toxic to aquatic life. Safety data sheets are available for anything we put on your site.

Talk to us before it becomes a problem

If dust is affecting safety, productivity or your relationship with the people around your site, it is worth a conversation. We will look at the site, tell you what we would do and why, and be straight about what a treatment will and will not achieve.
