BOCCE COURT PRODUCTS

For serious bocce players, properly maintained natural clay makes the best playing surface. Partac Peat Corporation makes Beam Clay® Bocce Court Mix in red, orange, brown, tan and grey from natural clays. These install 3" to 4" deep compacted over a firm drainage base. A properly maintained clay court is firm and yet has bounce or "life" to it. For those less dedicated to maintaining a bocce court, a stone dust, oyster shell, brick dust or "Fast Dry" court may be preferable as these dry quickly after rain and generally only require a light raking, occasional rolling, and watering. The media often refer to these "Fast Dry" courts as "clay" courts; however they are finely crushed green or red aggregates with a gypsum binder which, when moist, provide a "clay - like" playing surface and are much easier to install and maintain.
