Dust control for Ashland, Talent and Phoenix

We treat driveways, private roads and farm and vineyard lanes through Ashland, Talent and Phoenix, out of Medford. If the gravel is a City of Ashland street or alley, the city wants a permit first, issued at least two weeks ahead.1

The job here

What's different about dust control here.

  • Soil

    South of Ashland the survey describes granite that "occurs as bodies that are several square miles in size".5

  • Soil

    Manita loam turns up "about 4 miles west of Phoenix".5

  • Soil

    Along Bear Creek the survey flags "the shrink-swell potential in areas of the Medford soils".5

  • City streets

    Ashland requires a permit "for the use of a dust suppressant on a City street or alley". The product "must meet the City of Ashland and the Department of Environmental Quality standards", applicants "MUST submit MSDS sheets", and permits are issued "no less than two weeks in advance".1

  • Climate

    Ashland's summer is a little milder: a July normal high of 88.1°F and about 38 days a year at 90°F or more, against about 61 at Medford airport.67

  • Climate

    It is still dry: 1.66 of Ashland's 19.53 inches of rain fall from June through August.6

  • Landmark

    The Bear Creek Greenway "offers a greenbelt recreation site" along the creek.5

Vineyards and orchards

Dust on the leaves.

The south valley sits inside the Rogue Valley wine region.8 For webspinning spider mites in grapes, UC IPM's advice starts with the roads: "Apply water or other materials formulated to reduce dust on roads in the vineyard."9

What we spray is plant-based lignin, described as safe for plants. Tell us what grows along the lane before we book.

Timing here

Cooler than Medford. Still dry.

Ashland sits higher up the valley and runs a few degrees cooler in summer, but the rain still stops in June.67

Days a year at or above 90°F, one dot per day

38 Ashland July high 88.1°F

61 Medford Rogue Valley Airport July high 91.6°F

How to check yours

Not sure whose road it is?

  1. Inside Ashland

    A city street or alley goes through Ashland Public Works and its permit.1

  2. Outside the city

    Call Jackson County Roads at (541) 774‑8184. The county notes that unimproved roads may need further research.3

  3. Fire-safe driveways

    Jackson County's fire-safety check sheet sets the driveway's width, base rock, grade and fuelbreak. Dust control is not part of meeting it.10
