For ground cover for a part of our backyard, I guess it might be a Florida thing?
Yeah ... I've never even seen a bag of sea shells. But I see what you did there "shell station".

Also, be careful with leaving the floor divider up high with heavy loads, people have snapped the plastic supports. At least it looks like it is up on the higher level.

I'm one of those people. :(

Also a Long Island thing. Clam shells for path coverings instead of gravel. I saw it all over when I visited.

I've always found that funny.

In Florida, people pay for seashells to cover their yards, where the shells are plentiful.

In the Carolinas, people pay for bales of pine needles, where they are plentiful.

In our area, we pay for wood mulch. We buy dyed black mulch, every 3 years about 30 yards of it for like $1,000. Too many beds.

I never saw sea shells for sale in yard stores when I had a house in Ormond Beach - just different varieties of river rock (of course, the iron in the stupid sprinkler system water turned them orange/yellow 🙄).

No way am I searching out seashells by myself when I can buy a 10lb bag for $5 haha. My last house had way too many pine needles, wish I could have sold those!

I understand that back in the 1920s, Chesapeake Bay oysters were so abundant that bayshore Maryland counties used oyster shells as road surfacing.
