Grey Pearl Bocce Blend Per Ton Supersack
Traditionally Bocce Ball courts are covered with a 2 to 3-inch layer of crushed oyster shell spread that has been blended with decomposed granite or crushed stone fines. After that has been done a layer of finely crushed oyster flour is often applied. We supply all of these materials for court installations and for seasonal maintenance.We offer two different Bocce Ball Court Oyster Shell Blends, a dry climate (DC) and a wet climate (WC).

- 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
River rock and cobbles are most commonly hauled in Truck n Transfer units and End-dumps to about 25 tons.
Rubble and boulders hauled in bulk are transported in End-dumps and Super-10's. Loads range from 10 to 24 tons per load.
Moss Rock and Specialty Boulders are banded to pallets and shipped via flatbeds to about 24 tons per load.
Supersacks, palleted rock and specimen boulders are hauled on flatbeds in amounts to about 24 tons.
Flagstone and other specialty stone materials are haul on flatbeds in amounts up 24 tons per load.
Beach Pebble Orders - Mexican Beach Pebbles are hauled from warehouses space we maintain in San Diego, Ontario California and other
cities in the USA on a seasonal basis on common carriers. Pallets weigh 2,000 to 3,000 pounds each and there are service charges if you do not have a forklift or loading dock at the delivery location.
Mixed or Split Loads -
Many crushed and decomposed granite quarries produce more than 1 type of rock and several different sizes of materials. To make the most of your trucking expenses we often can to your site 2 different rock colors or sizes.
End-dump deliveries boulders can often be added to crushed rock orders.
Casa Grande AZ and Colorado Springs Distribution Yards
From these yards we can ship mixed loads of Mexican Beach Pebbles, decomposed granite, crushed rock, Arizona and Colorado River Rock, flagstone, boulders and other rock products to landscape and building construction sites throughout the USA and Canada.

Bocce Court Silver Surface Dry Climate Mix is made up of Sierra Silver Decomposed Granite material with apx. 25% crushed naturally marine composted oyster shell. The shell is in the form of thin 3⁄8” wide thin flakes with approximately 20% fines or “oyster shell flour.” Material is similar to texture of fish scales not shell pebbles. Bocce courts require regular grooming of the surface with a push broom or tennis court broom and large landscape rake. The role that oyster shell plays in bocce court surface mixtures is to keep the decomposed granite from becoming extremely hard and un-workable for grooming. The oyster shell 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 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 often asked if oyster shell or oyster flour will damage lawns or plants near the playing court. To that we answer, this material is safe for use around plants and is key ingredient in organic farming. A high quality soil conditioner which consists of 96% calcium carbonate and many micro-nutrients, Oyster Shell provides a long-lasting, steady release of nutrients to help regulate pH levels, improve fertilizer uptake, promote healthy cellular structure and enhance soil tilth.
The square foot coverage per ton of gravel will vary slightly with the surface and designs of the project, waste etc. will affect area coverage. The information is based on average ton and cubic yard amounts. This decorative building stone has naturally occurring colors and shade variations. These are what gives this stone the natural beauty and uniqueness that causes its appeal. Color tones change can sometimes occur with aging or maintenance practices of the location it is installed at therefore exact matching of existing stone may not always occur. During processing or transportation dust will adhere to the rocks and change its appearance on arrival but we guarantee all stone to be true to the specific brand name, type and size ordered or complete exchange including transportation costs will be made.
