of a drainable road base material compacted and level.\u00a0 \u00a0Next, install about 1&#8243; of a decomposed granite or concrete fines.\u00a0 That is the correct base system before you install any bocce surface&#8211;even the bad ones.\u00a0 Do the base right, and the rest will set you free!<\/p>\n<p>Ok, what&#8217;s the best bocce surface?\u00a0 \u00a0No, not clay.\u00a0 \u00a0Nope, not decomposed granite or sand.\u00a0 Not even oyster shells mixed with oyster flour.\u00a0 \u00a0The best organic bocce surface available in America is the Fog City Organic Bocce Blend.\u00a0 \u00a0Why?\u00a0 \u00a0Because the blend uses a carpenter oyster the size of your thumb nail that we hand pulverize down to about 1\/8&#8243;-3\/16&#8243; so you&#8217;re not rolling on giant size oyster shells which make the ball move in funny directions.\u00a0 Next oyster flour and a special kiln dried sand is added to the blend, as well as a measured amount of gold track fines (much smaller than decomposed granite), and a few other secret ingredients then tossed over 100 times in a custom bocce blend mixer and finally bagged in easy to carry 50 lb bags.\u00a0 \u00a0There is no blend better or easier to transport.\u00a0 \u00a0Some will send you a super sack 1500 lb bag of a blend they mix with a tractor in their parking lot using large oyster shells but what the heck are you going to do with a 1500 lb bag on your driveway and how will you deal with those pesky giant oyster shells?\u00a0 Break out the shovels, grinders and wheelbarrows!\u00a0 With the Fog City blend mined from the San Francisco Bay, you get the best organic bocce blend available.\u00a0 \u00a0Just remember, you will still have to rake, roll, wet and broom but you will love the surface and a cold one after your hard work!\u00a0 If you&#8217;re not up for the maintenance,\u00a0 please see our patented Pacific Pearl Bocce Surface System.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing:\u00a0 We recommend 1&#8243; to 2&#8243; of the Fog City Bocce Blend after the base layers are installed.\u00a0 One bag covers about 10 sq. ft. 1&#8243; deep.\u00a0 \u00a0Since earlier this year, all the oyster shells need to be hand grinded to the correct size of about 1\/8&#8243; to 1\/4&#8243; in size.\u00a0 Each bag of our newest hand grinded Fog City blend is $65.00 plus shipping (add sales tax if necessary).\u00a0 Basically figure $6.5-$13\/sq. ft. depending on thickness\u00a0 \u00a0This can easily be installed by you, your gardener or the local high school bocce or basketball team&#8212;ie:\u00a0 very easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>Call us directly at 1.925.932.4108 and we&#8217;ll start blending your order today!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/boccebuildersofamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fog-City-Pic.jpg\" alt=\"Fog City Bocce Blend\" title=\"Fog City Pic\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>\n\t\tFog City Bocce Blend\n\n<!--084a7604-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proprietary Organic Bocce Blend FOG CITY ORGANIC BOCCE BLEND All organic bocce blends require a lot of maintenance.\u00a0 \u00a0Don&#8217;t let anyone fool you or try to sell you otherwise.\u00a0 Whether you use the cheapest decomposed granite, concrete fines or clay to more sophisticated blends of crushed oyster shells, with oyster flour and other binders, they&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2352,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2776","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fog City Organic Bocce Blend | Bocce Builders of America<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The best organic bocce surface available in America is the Fog City Organic Bocce Blend.
