Landscaping for Dust Control

Landscaping for dust control involves strategic modification of land features and planting choices to reduce airborne dust. It includes planting trees, shrubs, and ground covers that trap and stabilize soil, creating a natural barrier against wind erosion. Incorporating gravel, mulch, or other surface treatments can also help hold soil in place. Proper grading and maintaining vegetation can minimize loose dust from construction sites, industrial areas, or bare soil surfaces, improving air quality and safety. This environmentally friendly approach combines horticulture and land management techniques to effectively manage dust while enhancing the landscape’s appearance and functionality.
