Detailed Spec sheet for the blend is given below.
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.
We blend this unique oyster shell and flour material with 1/4" minus fine or even finer 2mm decomposed granite and crushed stones in Arizona and Texas, depending upon the color of the blend requested. This is because the geology of the Southwest favors certain rock color formations in different regions. We try to work with Texas ingredients as much as possible but for the benefit of superior quality, we often need to visit quarries outside of Texas. Blended materials will indicate the region of production.
This Wet Climate Rain Country blend is made up of Decomposed Granite 1/4" Minus is blended with premium quality marine composted crushed oyster shell flour and washed concrete sand. We use a higher percentage of oyster shells in this blend than in our Dry Climate Blends.
This produces a good draining but still results in the typical traditional Italian bocce ball court. This mixture is installed over a layer of 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.
- 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?
