Post-Irma, we lost a big palm and several other plants and thought we'd just start with a clean slate, but time & money are limited! Would love a tiki-inspired tropical garden, and thinking of some shells & stones as opposed to the mulch & stones we have now. Ideas?

Google Florida native plants along with Florida friendly landscaping for ideas on what to plant where. I would stick to dark mulch based on what's best for our FLaDuh plants and what looks best with your concept.
Here are some Tiki garden "rules"

Polynesian décor relies on rattan furniture, curtains, mats and hangings. Batik is a staple of Polynesian art. You can use the fabric for patio furniture coverings, tablecloths, or hanging panels for overhead shade or for decoration on the side of the house. You can place torches and any Polynesian figurines throughout the garden as statuary creating a focal point or as a whimsical element in any flower bed.
