Black Pearl Bocce Blend - Bulk Shipping Price1 Ton Covers 100 to 150 Square Feet.
The recreational use of an Italian Bocce Ball Court provides an excellent way to spend afternoons and evenings having backyard fun with family and friends.
For those players who are in a particular use or want to have large to full size 13 x 91-foot courts with a hard and very fast playing surface.
Traditionally Bocce Ball courts are covered with a 2 to 3-inch layer of crushed oyster flour spread that has been blended with decomposed granite in a very fine 1/4" minus screen size. In regions with high spring and summer rainfall, it is advisable to use a greater percentage of oyster flour and washed concrete sand for improved drainage and ease of maintenance.
After the installation of the playing surface has been done a layer of finely crushed oyster shell flour is often applied.The role that oyster flour plays in bocce court surface mixtures is to keep the decomposed granite from binding together becoming extremely hard and unworkable for grooming. The oyster flour keeps the decomposed granite from completely binding together. Through the normal course of play; ruts, troughs and material displacement takes place.
Our decomposed granite oyster flour blend is in traditional Italian bocce ball court surface formula. When groomed out it makes a smooth solid surface to play on. When play is completed it makes for an easy surface to quickly renovate.
We are also able to ship all of the other materials needed for installation and maintenance to you.
Installation and maintenance services are available.
Free rental tools are available to assist with the installation.
Oystershell Flour
Oyster shell flour is applied over the top of the finished court surface at the rate of 1/4 to 1/2 pound per square foot resulting in a thin layer of finely crushed oyster shell flour for a very smooth playing surface.
Shipping
Blended materials are shipped 2,000 and 3,000-pound SuperEarth-sacks, depending upon transportation and unloading equipment. In some regions, the material is made available for will-call.

Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?
Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers contact information. We typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 17 to 26.5 tons.
Decomposed granite, crushed rock, gravel, sand and similar materials are typically hauled in;
Truck n Transfers from 24 to 26.5 tons,
End-dumps from 24 to 25 tons
Bottom and Side Dumps 25 tons
Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons

Product Specifications and Uses
Bocce Ball Court Pro Oyster Flour & Decomposed Granite Blends
We offer two different Bocce Ball Court Oyster flour Blends, a dry climate (DC) and a wet climate (WC). The Bocce Court Pro Bocce Ball Court Oyster flour Blend materials are ideal for the climates they are mixed for. While the materials are at different ratios the application rates are the same
Wet Climate Blend
The Bocce Ball Court Oyster flour Blend WC is ideal for regular rainfall climates such as most northern portions of California and the Pacific Northwest, the Upper Midwest, and other regions where regular to heavy rainfall requires a light blend that will not become hard and compacted. The Wet Climate blend is slightly more expensive since it contains a high percentage of crushed oyster shells to lessen compaction that would otherwise result from regular or heavy periods of rainfall.
Dry Climate Blend
The Bocce Ball Court Oystershell Blend DC is ideal for regular rainfall climates like most of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and West Texas. The Dry Climate blend is less expensive since a lower amount of crushed oyster shell is required to maintain desirable court conditions.
One Ton of Black Bocce Ball Decomposed Granite Typically Covers:
120 square feet at a 2" depth - Good coverage and compaction results
90 square feet at a 3" depth - Very good long-term coverage, great compaction results
One Square Yard of Black Bocce Ball Decomposed Granite Typically Covers:
