Who We Are
About 20 yrs. ago Marty Stanbrough had the vision to tackle the dust problem he had in front of his home. Armed with an old grain drill and some muscle Dust Busters Dust Control became a business. For the first few years, Marty applied Calcium Flakes Via the grain drill to country roads for friends and family.
As the business grew a toter tank was incorporated into the business to apply the calcium flakes mixed to a liquid solution. Gary Strief then became a business partner. Together Marty and Gary (Fruity) grew the business as clients saw the benefit of dust control in their area. Calcium flakes were replaced by raw liquid products and lignin sulfonate (tree sap) was introduced to the area.
Last fall Marty & Gary made the tough decision to pass the torch of the business onto a new owner. Reaching retirement age both Marty and Gary knew for the business to continue to grow some young blood was needed to be brought in. November 1st, 2021 Dust Busters Dust Control ownership was handed over to Tony and Holly Osmundson.
The original duo may have found new blood, but their know-how and priceless experience will continue to be a major part of the business growth and application process. Tony and Holly, along with their two children, Loren (age 9) and Katelyn (age 7), will continue to be what has become the premier Dust Control business in the area.
Tony and Holly are also the owners of Osmundson Lawn Care & Landscaping. OLC has been around since 2008. Tony and Holly will use what they have learned from building OLC into a successful business and apply those same concepts as they watch the Dust Busters' trade continue to flourish.
One change to the business will begin with incorporating the technology of today’s world into day-to-day operations. Accessibility and the use of technology birthed a new website for our client's needs. www.dustbustersdustcontrol.com is up and ready for you to submit your request! With our new website, you can now fill out dust control permits online!
GPS tracking and Flow Rate control have also been added to the fleet of trucks to ensure proper rates are applied and accurate placement of material. In the coming seasons, we hope to see more and more customers using the online submission form on the website. This allows for more timely service and helps aid in routing trucks out to your location.
Of course, you can still reach out and receive a paper copy of your county's permit by mail. We will also be using the email information you have provided to alert you of any changes or the approximate start dates of your applications. This will allow you to make sure you are properly flagged and prepped for your application.
In closing, Marty, Gary, Tony, and Holly would like to extend our appreciation to all of you for your past commitment to the Dust Buster trade, and look forward to seeing you all again this season!
Marty Stanbrough, Gary Strief, Tony & Holly Osmundson
