The installation of an Italian Bocce Ball Court provides an excellent way to spend afternoons and evenings having backyard fun with family and friends. Our Gold Decomposed Granite 1/4" Minus is blended with premium quality composted crushed oyster shell flour that results in the typical traditionally Italian bocce ball court. This mixture is installed over a layer standard 3/8" minus decomposed granite to a depth of 1-1/2 to 3 inches, which equals 1 ton of blended material per 100 to 150 square feet.
The role that oyster flour plays in bocce court surface mixtures is to keep the decomposed granite from becoming extremely hard and un-workable for grooming. The oyster flour flakes keep the decomposed granite from completely binding together. Through the normal course of play; ruts, troughs and material displacement takes place. Our decomposed granite oyster shell blend is in the 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 offer several different surface material options, with and without oyster flour. Our Wet Climate or Rain Country Blend has a higher percentage of oyster flour and washed concrete sand for increase drainage.
We are also able to ship all of the other materials needed for installation and maintenance to you. Installation and maintenance services are available. Our staff is available with free rental tools to assist you or your contractor with an installation.
Oyster Shell 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.
