Bocce Court - Scoop Shovel
Regional quarries shipping bulk throughout our service areas or in SuperEarth-sacks anywhere requested. This decomposed granite is a coarse quartz rich material that facilitates excellent drainage of the bocce ball court.
Step 1
The first step ( unless your location will have severe drainage issues) is to install a bed of Class II Permeable Road Base at a rate of 3 to 6 inches deep
Step 2
This decomposed granite material is installed over a bed of Class II Permeable Road Base at a rate of 2 to 3 inches deep.
Step 3
The next step is to install the bocce ball court surface either of Bocce Ball Court Oyster Shell & Decomposed Granite Blend or pure 1/4"" minus red, gold or silver decomposed granite is applied over this coarse decomposed granite at rate of 1-1/2 to 3 inches deep.
.
This is a true premium quality decomposed granite material not a crushed rock fines material and that is why it may appear more expensive than ""rock dirt"" sold locally at other stone and landscape supply yards.
This product and similar materials are best used at the rates of:
1 Ton per 90 square feet in a 3 inch deep layer.
1 Cu. Yard per 115 square feet in a 3 inch deep layer.
When ordering use the Purchase Order function at checkout and enter ROCK as your payment method. This will allow you to create an order for a firm transportation quote without having to pay for it at this time. While we have posted transport rates, in many circumstances we are able to ship the order to you for less. You will be given a firm cost on the whole order within a few minutes to a few hours.
- 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 22 to 24 tons
Bottom and Side Dumps 25 tons
Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons

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.
After installation is completed the rock should be rinsed off to show the natural beauty and character.
