What is crushed coquina?
Crushed coquina is a light, sandy-toned material made from Florida's native coquina shell rock. It has a warm off-white to tan color and a fine, textured look that packs in nicely.
Crushed coquina is one of Florida's most recognizable landscape materials — a light, sandy-toned shell rock native to the coast. The warm off-white to tan color and fine texture give pathways and beds a natural, coastal feel, and it packs down nicely underfoot.
We keep crushed coquina at our DeLand yard by the cubic yard. Selection varies by availability — call to confirm what's on the lot before you come out.
Because it's a fine, angular shell material, crushed coquina compacts underfoot — over a few weeks a path firms up into a walkable surface that still drains. That's what separates it from round decorative rock, which always stays loose.
Is crushed coquina the right pick? If you want the brightest white look, washed shell or white river rock run cooler and brighter. If vehicles will drive on it, a road-grade base like crushed concrete or limerock holds up better. And if you want the shell look in whole-rock form, larger coquina rock is sold by the pound for accents, borders, and yard art.
How much do I need?
A cubic yard covers about 125 sq ft at 2 inches deep. Coverage shifts a bit as coquina compacts. Call to confirm quantity for your project.
