Q: What's the minimum order for delivery to St. Petersburg?

What Are the Best Tropical Plants for St. Petersburg Landscaping?
The best tropical plants for St. Petersburg are Zone 10a varieties that handle the local climate, soil conditions, and sun exposure. For St. Petersburg's historic bungalows, waterfront homes, beach cottages, and modern condos, we recommend a layered approach: tall palm trees for structure, mid-level hibiscus and bougainvillea for color, and low ferns and ornamental grasses for ground cover.
For privacy screening, Clusia and Podocarpus hedges grow quickly in Zone 10a and require minimal maintenance. For cold-hardy options, Windmill Palms and Sabal Palms handle occasional freezes without damage. And for ground cover, coquina shell at $145/yard is the lowest-maintenance, longest-lasting alternative to mulch.

Is Coquina Shell Available in St. Petersburg?
Yes — coquina shell is available for delivery to St. Petersburg at $145 per cubic yard. Coquina is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock from Northeast Florida, and it's one of the most durable, beautiful, and low-maintenance ground cover materials available. Unlike mulch, which needs replacing every year, coquina shell lasts indefinitely.
One cubic yard covers approximately 100 square feet at 3 inches of depth. For driveways, we recommend 4-6 inches; for walkways and garden beds, 2-3 inches is ideal. Use our cost calculator to estimate your project, or read our complete coquina shell guide for detailed application info.

Q: How much coquina shell do I need for a St. Petersburg driveway?
A typical two-car driveway (12×30 ft) at 4" depth needs about 4.5 cubic yards — roughly $650 in material plus delivery. Use our calculator for an exact estimate.
Why Buy From Tropical Yards Instead of Big Box Stores?
Tropical Yards prices every plant 10% or more below Home Depot, Lowe's, and local St. Petersburg nurseries. We're able to do this because we're a grower — not a retailer paying for showroom space, massive overhead, and middlemen. When you buy from us, you get nursery-direct quality at wholesale-adjacent pricing.
Big box stores in St. Petersburg stock generic plants shipped from out of state that may not be suited to Zone 10a. Our plants are selected specifically for Tampa Bay's climate. We also offer dump trailer delivery directly to your property, which big box stores don't — you'd have to rent a truck and haul everything yourself.
Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for St. Petersburg landscaping projects?
Absolutely. For large projects — new construction landscaping, commercial properties, or HOA common areas — we offer volume pricing that goes even lower than our already-discounted rates. Call 772-267-1611 to discuss your project.
