Premium coquina shell at $145/yard for driveways, garden beds, walkways, and pool decks. The dump trailer's hydraulic bed deposits coquina shell precisely where you need it — saving hours of wheelbarrow labor. Combine with plant orders in a single delivery for maximum efficiency.

Does Tropical Yards do landscape installation, or just delivery?
Tropical Yards specializes in plant sales, design consultation, and dump trailer delivery. We deliver plants and coquina shell directly to your property and provide expert guidance on placement and installation. For full installation services, we can connect you with experienced local landscaping contractors who work with our plant inventory regularly.
Creating the right tropical landscape for Northeast Florida starts with choosing plants matched to your specific site conditions — sun exposure, soil drainage, salt proximity, and freeze risk all factor into which species will thrive long-term. Tropical Yards' team walks you through plant selection based on your yard's unique conditions, whether you're in the salt-sprayed coastal corridors of Vilano Beach, the sandy scrub soils of Palm Coast, or the shaded lots of historic St. Augustine neighborhoods.
Our consultation covers plant groupings that work well together, height layering for visual depth, bloom timing for year-round color, and species that offer the best performance for NE Florida's subtropical climate. We can help you plan a palm-lined driveway with flowering hibiscus borders, a bougainvillea-covered pergola, a lush tropical privacy screen using areca palms, or a low-maintenance coquina shell bed accented with bird of paradise and crotons. With 125+ varieties available, there's a combination suited to every aesthetic and budget.
When planning your tropical landscape, think in layers. Ground-level plants like ferns, bromeliads, and low-growing crotons create a lush carpet effect. Mid-level shrubs — hibiscus, ixora, plumbago — add flowering color and structure at eye level. Tall accent plants like queen palms, Bismarck palms, or royal poinciana anchor the design and provide shade and dramatic vertical interest. Tropical Yards carries plants at every layer, from compact 3-gallon ferns starting at $17.99 to specimen-sized palms for instant impact.
What tropical plants grow best in Northeast Florida's climate?
Northeast Florida falls in USDA zones 9a and 9b, with occasional winter temperatures dropping to the mid-20s°F in inland areas. The best performers include sabal palms (Florida's state tree and extremely cold-hardy), queen palms, bougainvillea, hibiscus, bird of paradise, crotons, and variegated arboricola. Salt-tolerant options like sea grapes, coontie, and silver buttonwood work well for coastal lots. We recommend cold-hardy varieties throughout and can advise on freeze cloth protection for more tender species.
Dump trailer delivery is what sets Tropical Yards apart from nurseries where you haul plants home in your trunk. Our dump trailer can handle large-volume plant orders — dozens of palms, hundreds of shrubs, bulk coquina shell, or any combination — and deliver directly to your driveway, job site, or backyard in a single trip. This is especially valuable for landscaping contractors managing full property installs where efficiency and timeliness are critical.
The delivery process is straightforward: you select your plants (in person or by phone), confirm quantities and delivery zone, and we schedule a delivery window that works for your project timeline. Our drivers are experienced with residential and commercial deliveries and will position the load for easy unloading. For coquina shell orders, the dump function allows the driver to deposit the material precisely where you want it — saving hours of wheelbarrow labor. We deliver throughout all six zones from St. Augustine down to Daytona Beach, Monday through Saturday.
How much does dump trailer plant delivery cost in Northeast Florida?
Delivery fees are flat-rate by zone: St. Augustine is $250, Ponte Vedra $275, Palm Coast $300, Flagler Beach $300, Ormond Beach $350, and Daytona Beach $375. These fees cover the full delivery load regardless of plant quantity, making bulk orders the most cost-effective way to use delivery. Call 772-267-1611 to confirm availability and schedule your delivery date.
Yes — Tropical Yards actively works with professional landscapers, contractors, property managers, and HOA maintenance teams throughout Northeast Florida. We understand that commercial landscaping projects require reliable plant availability, consistent quality, and pricing that makes sense for resale and installation budgets. Our bulk ordering process is simple: contact us with your plant list and quantities, and we'll confirm availability and provide pricing for your project.
Professional landscapers frequently order palms by the dozen, hibiscus and bougainvillea by the flat, and coquina shell by the multiple yards for large installations. Our dump trailer delivery makes contractor orders particularly efficient — you can receive a full project's worth of plant material in one organized delivery, reducing the trips and time-on-site that eat into your margins. We stock consistently across our 125+ varieties and can often accommodate large orders on short timelines, especially for in-season NE Florida landscaping projects from March through November.
Can professional landscapers and contractors set up a recurring account?
Absolutely. Tropical Yards works with numerous landscaping contractors throughout NE Florida on a regular basis. Contact us to discuss your project volume, preferred plant varieties, and delivery schedule. We can coordinate deliveries to multiple job sites and accommodate the plant quantities that commercial landscaping projects require. Email sleuthdesigner@gmail.com or call 772-267-1611.
Tropical Yards delivers across all of Northeast Florida's primary markets — from the historic streets of downtown St. Augustine north to Ponte Vedra Beach's golf communities, south through Palm Coast and Flagler Beach into Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. Each delivery zone has a flat-rate fee that covers your full load, whether you're ordering 10 plants or 100 plants plus several yards of coquina shell.
For reference, St. Johns County addresses (St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Palm Valley) are covered by our two lowest-cost zones. Flagler County addresses (Palm Coast, Bunnell, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach) fall in the mid-range. Volusia County (Ormond Beach, Holly Hill, Daytona Beach) round out our furthest delivery zone. Call us at 772-267-1611 to confirm your address and schedule delivery.
Planning a large landscaping project? Combining your plant order with a coquina shell delivery is the most efficient use of a delivery run. Coquina shell at $145/yard is ideal for driveways, garden bed borders, walkways, and pool decks — and it offloads perfectly from the dump trailer's hydraulic bed directly to your target location. Visit our coquina shell page and our tropical plants for sale page for full pricing details.
Does Tropical Yards offer free landscaping design consultations?
Yes — we provide complimentary plant selection and design advice to help you choose the right varieties for your property's sun exposure, soil type, and proximity to salt air. Contact us at sleuthdesigner@gmail.com or call 772-267-1611 to discuss your project. We can advise via phone, email, or in person at our St. Augustine location.
What is the minimum order for dump trailer delivery?
There is no minimum plant quantity for delivery, but you do pay the flat-rate delivery fee for your zone regardless of order size. Most customers order enough plants to justify the delivery cost — combining plants with coquina shell in one delivery load is a popular way to maximize value.
How far in advance do I need to schedule a delivery?
We recommend calling at least 3–5 business days in advance to ensure your preferred delivery date is available and to confirm plant inventory. During peak spring planting season (March–May), scheduling a week or more ahead is advisable. Call 772-267-1611 to check availability and lock in your delivery.
Can you deliver both tropical plants and coquina shell in the same load?
Yes — combining plants and coquina shell in one dump trailer delivery is one of the most efficient ways to get a complete landscape transformation in a single visit. Our dump trailer handles both materials, and the hydraulic bed allows us to deposit coquina shell precisely where you need it, while plants are unloaded at your direction.
Do you deliver to Daytona Beach and Volusia County?
Yes — Daytona Beach and the Ormond Beach area are part of our southernmost delivery zone. The flat-rate delivery fee for Daytona Beach is $375 and Ormond Beach is $350. These zones cover addresses in Volusia County including Holly Hill, Port Orange, and South Daytona. Call us to confirm your specific address before ordering.
What is coquina shell and how is it used in tropical landscaping?
Coquina shell is a natural crushed shell product popular throughout Northeast Florida for driveways, garden pathways, pool decks, and mulching around tropical plants. It drains quickly, looks beautiful alongside tropical foliage, and is priced at $145/yard delivered. It's an ideal companion material to any tropical plant landscaping project — providing a polished, low-maintenance ground surface that complements lush plantings.
125+ tropical plant varieties and bulk coquina shell delivered by dump trailer across St. Augustine to Daytona Beach. Free design consultation included.
