Bocce Court Crushed Oyster Shell - Surface Mix
50-pound bag - Creates 150 to 200 pounds of bocce court spread
Bocce Ball courts are covered with a 3-inch playing surface. There are a few very popular methods for doing this
1. A mixture of oyster shell 75% and 25% oyster shell flour ( this method is very difficult and requires a lot of work over months to get compacted )
2. Pure oyster shell flour ( this method is the most difficult and requires a lot of work over months to get compacted )
3. A blended mixture of oyster shell, oyster shell flour, and decomposed granite. The rate is typically 1 ton of blended material per 100 per square feet. This is the most attractive and economical and least difficult to install of the three oyster shell material surfaces.
The installation of an Italian Bocce court provides an excellent way to spend afternoons and evenings having fun with family and friends.
Oyster shell is used for creating the traditional playing surface material that covers a 3/8” minus decomposed granite base.
Mix 50 pounds of Bocce Court Oyster Shell per 200 pounds of 1/4"" minus decomposed granite or crushed stone fines. Next, transport that material for installation to the bocce court.
An Oyster Shell Bocce Ball court is much easier to care for and do maintenance on. Clay courts develop extremely hard surfaces, so worn or uneven spots are difficult to correct. When oyster shell surfaces harden, they can be more easily loosened back up and re-graded to have an even, smooth, playing surface.
- 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 inaccurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend on 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, the amount and date needed, and the buyer's 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
