When it comes to managing or enhancing a large property in New Jersey—whether it’s a sprawling estate, commercial campus, farmstead, or a multi-acre backyard—you need more than just a few bags of mulch or a wheelbarrow of gravel. The right landscaping supplies make all the difference in transforming a vast space into a well-organized, beautiful, and functional environment.
At Kirk Allen Landscape Supply, we’ve worked with property owners, contractors, and landscapers across the Garden State who are tackling large-scale outdoor projects. If you’re wondering what materials can give your property the best results, here’s a complete guide to the best landscaping supplies for large properties in NJ.
Why Landscaping on a Large Property Requires a Different Approach
A big backyard or commercial lot isn’t just a “larger version” of a small yard—it comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities:
- Erosion control becomes more critical
- Drainage issues are more likely
- Heavy traffic areas need durable surfaces
- Cost efficiency in bulk material matters
- Design coherence across large areas is essential
Choosing the right materials up front can save you time, money, and headaches later on.
Top Landscaping Supplies for Large Properties
1. Bulk Mulch
One of the most effective ways to cover large planting beds, wooded areas, or slopes is with mulch. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and gives a clean, uniform appearance.
Popular mulch types for large properties:
- Triple shredded hardwood mulch – Long-lasting and looks polished
- Black or dyed mulch – Enhances contrast and curb appeal
- Playground mulch – Ideal for schools, parks, or family-friendly spaces
At Kirk Allen Landscape Supply, we deliver mulch in bulk directly to your site, ensuring you get consistent quality and color throughout the entire property.
2. Topsoil & Compost
Whether you’re installing a new lawn or building garden beds, screened topsoil is essential. When paired with compost, it enriches the soil for better plant growth and healthier turf.
For large-scale seeding or sod installation, we recommend:
- Screened topsoil (free of debris and ideal for planting)
- Organic compost (nutrient-dense for soil amendment)
- Garden mix (a balanced blend of topsoil and compost)
You can save significantly by ordering by the cubic yard. Our team can help you calculate exactly how much you need.
3. Crushed Stone & Gravel
Large driveways, private roads, and drainage zones require durable materials like:
- ¾” clean stone – Perfect for French drains and under patios
- Quarry process (Q.P.) – Great for compactable bases
- Pea gravel – Decorative yet functional for walkways and borders
- Driveway blend – A cost-effective solution for long private drives
Gravel and stone also offer great drainage, making them ideal for rural or sloped properties.
4. Landscape Fabric
You might think landscape fabric is only for small garden beds—but on large properties, it becomes a game changer. It:
- Reduces long-term weeding
- Keeps gravel and mulch from sinking into the soil
- Protects from soil erosion
When combined with gravel or stone, it forms a long-lasting base for pathways, patios, or slopes.
5. Natural Stone & Decorative Rock
Want to add focal points or retain slopes naturally? Boulders, decorative rock, and wall stone work well on large properties.
Options include:
- Fieldstone boulders – For edging, signage bases, or accents
- River rock – Adds softness to water features or beds
- Thin veneer or wall stone – For dry-stacked retaining walls or raised beds
A well-placed boulder or retaining wall can solve a problem (like erosion) and enhance the beauty of your landscape.
6. Pavers & Edging Materials
For larger walkways, pool areas, patios, or gathering spaces, durable and beautiful pavers add both form and function.
Choose from:
- Concrete pavers – Uniform and cost-effective
- Natural bluestone – Luxurious, rustic, and perfect for high-end properties
- Edging stones – Define lines for lawns, driveways, and gardens
We recommend professional installation for large-scale paver projects, but we also supply all the materials needed if you’re handling it yourself.
7. Sand, Fill & Base Materials
Large properties often involve grading, backfilling, and creating level pads for sheds, garages, or patios.
For these projects, we carry:
- Mason sand – Ideal for leveling or under pavers
- Fill dirt – For large fill-ins or terrain leveling
- Stone dust – Used as a base for pavers and walkways
Proper base prep is essential for long-term durability—and we can help you choose the right combination.
