Description text goes hereE.P. Jansen is a landscape supply company and stone yard in Florida, NY carrying natural stone, pavers and retaining wall systems, nursery plants, bulk mulch and aggregate, landscape lighting, and masonry consumables. The nursery side runs across acres of trees, shrubs, grasses, and seasonal color. The stone yard side covers bluestone, flagstone, granite, wall block, and paver lines from multiple manufacturers. Contractors and homeowners buy from the same inventory, which is why a full project list can usually be filled in one stop.

E.P. Jansen supplies materials and does not design or install landscapes, hardscapes, or lighting systems. Customers who need the work performed can select their materials at the yard and ask staff for a referral to a reputable contractor working in their area. Keeping installation out of the business means the yard is not competing with the contractors who buy here, and material advice is not shaped by trying to win a build. Homeowners who want one company to handle design, materials, and construction end to end are better served by a design-build contractor than by a supply yard.

E.P. Jansen sells to landscape contractors, masons, builders, municipalities, and homeowners, with no account or trade license required to buy. Professional crews make up a large share of volume, and the yard is laid out for trailer loading and quick turnaround because of it. Homeowners buying a single pallet or a few yards of mulch are handled the same way. The difference is order size, not access.

E.P. Jansen serves the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey from its yard in Florida, NY, covering Orange, Rockland, Sullivan, and Ulster counties in New York and Sussex and Bergen counties in New Jersey. Delivery runs throughout that footprint with full trailer load capability for larger orders. Customers just outside the standard delivery range can call to see whether a drop can be arranged.

Natural stone at E.P. Jansen covers bluestone, flagstone, granite, wall stone, stepping stones, and veneer, stocked on site rather than ordered in from a catalog. Bluestone is the volume product for Hudson Valley patios, walkways, and pool decking, available both as irregular pieces and as sawn-and-thermaled rectangles with squared edges. Granite and veneer typically go toward steps, caps, pillars, and outdoor kitchen surfaces. Because pallets are open in the yard, you can check thickness, color range, and cleft texture before choosing, which matters on a material where no two pallets are identical.

E.P. Jansen is an authorized dealer for Unilock, Techo-Bloc, Cambridge, and EP Henry along with several other lines, and stocks one of the largest selections of pavers and retaining walls in the Hudson Valley. Full outdoor living displays in the yard show products set in place rather than stacked on a pallet, which is the only reliable way to judge color across a full surface. Beyond the paver itself, the yard carries caps, coping, steps, borders, edge restraint, polymeric sand, adhesive, and the crushed base that goes underneath. Pulling the whole assembly from one supplier avoids the compatibility problems that surface when components come from different lines.

The E.P. Jansen nursery was built to serve the professional landscape community, which shows up in specimen size, species range, and availability of hard-to-find material rather than in a retail gift shop. Selection includes evergreen, deciduous, and fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and grasses, perennials, and seasonal annual color, with mature specimens in sizes most retail garden centers do not stock. Rare and imported varieties are sourced deliberately so designs are not limited to the same handful of common plants. Homeowners shop the same inventory and get the same staff guidance on species selection.

Ordering at E.P. Jansen usually starts with a call or a visit to the yard, where staff go through the material list, confirm quantities, and check what is in stock. Bulk material and stone are sold by the yard, ton, or pallet depending on the product. Once the order is confirmed you choose pickup or delivery and schedule a time. Contractors running repeat volume can set up an account to simplify ordering and billing across a season.

E.P. Jansen delivers throughout the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey, with full trailer load capability for large hardscape and bulk orders. Deliveries go to homes and directly to job sites. Scheduling in advance matters most in spring, when volume across the region peaks and lead times stretch. Call the yard for current delivery timing on a specific order.

Pickup is available at the Florida, NY yard during business hours for customers who prefer to haul their own material. Plants, bagged goods, and small quantities fit most SUVs and pickups. Bulk material is a different question, since a single yard of wet topsoil can run well over two thousand pounds and exceed the payload of a half-ton pickup before the bed is full. Staff will tell you honestly whether an order is realistic to take yourself.

Spring is the busiest stretch of the year at E.P. Jansen, so ordering ahead is worth doing for anything time-sensitive, particularly bulk material and specific plant varieties. Nursery inventory moves quickly once the season opens, and a specimen available in early April may be gone by May. Calling ahead to confirm availability and reserve material is the most reliable approach. Lead times shift week to week during the season, so the yard is the best source for current timing.

E.P. Jansen staff calculate quantities and work through material selection as a standard part of buying here, not as a separate service. Bring the dimensions of the area, photos, and any inspiration images, and the team can convert that into a list with the right quantities. This applies to homeowners planning a single bed and to contractors bidding a full property. Getting quantities right up front is the easiest way to avoid paying for a second delivery.

E.P. Jansen refers homeowners to reputable contractors working in their area, drawing on the crews that buy from the yard regularly. Because the business does not install, there is no incentive to steer work anywhere except to whoever fits the project. Referrals are informal rather than a guaranteed placement, and the hiring decision, contract, and pricing stay between the homeowner and the contractor.

Material that is not in stock can often be sourced, particularly on stone, paver lines, and nursery specimens where E.P. Jansen has long-standing manufacturer and grower relationships. Timing depends on the product and the season. Staff will tell you whether an item is worth waiting for or whether a comparable in-stock option makes more sense for the schedule. On a live job site, the in-stock alternative is usually the better call.

E.P. Jansen runs the stone yard and the nursery as two sides of the same business, each with its own specialists. Questions about pavers, natural stone, walls, bulk aggregate, and masonry supply go to the stone yard side. Questions about trees, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal material go to the nursery side. Calling the main number gets you routed to the right person, and staff on both sides coordinate on projects that involve hardscape and planting together.

Dense natural stone such as bluestone and granite, along with manufactured pavers and wall block rated for freeze-thaw, handle Northeast winters well when set on a properly drained base. Most hardscape failures in this region trace back to the base rather than the surface material, since water trapped under a patio lifts and shifts it through freeze cycles. That is why the yard stocks crushed and washed aggregate alongside the finish material. Specifying both together is more reliable than sourcing stone from one supplier and base from another.

Crushed stone is the correct base under pavers because its angular, fractured faces lock together under compaction, while rounded gravel shifts and ruts over time. A 3/4" crushed and washed product is the regional standard for patios, walkways, and driveways. Clear crushed stone is used instead where the assembly needs to drain freely, as with permeable pavers. E.P. Jansen stocks 3/4" crushed and washed, 3/4" clear crushed, 1/8" clear chip, and washed concrete sand so the base can be matched to the application.

Native species are generally the lowest-maintenance planting choice in the Hudson Valley because they are already adapted to local soil, rainfall, and winter temperatures. Ornamental grasses, established shrubs, and native perennials need less watering and less intervention than plantings selected purely on appearance. Mulching beds at a three-inch depth also cuts watering needs and slows weed pressure through the season. Nursery staff can pull native and low-maintenance options for a specific site.

Permeable pavers work well on residential driveways where drainage, runoff, or local stormwater requirements are a concern, since the wider joints let water pass into a clear-stone base instead of sheeting off. The tradeoff is a different base assembly and joint material than a standard install, so it is not a straight product swap on an existing design. Some municipalities offer credits or set requirements around permeable surfaces, which is worth checking locally. E.P. Jansen carries permeable lines from the manufacturers stocked in the yard.

Pricing at E.P. Jansen varies by material, quantity, and how the product is sold, since stone moves by the ton or pallet, bulk material by the cubic yard, and plants by size and species. Volume affects the number, which is why a full trailer load and a single pallet are not priced the same per unit. Delivery is quoted separately based on distance and load size. The most accurate way to get a figure is to bring or call in a material list and have staff price it against current inventory.

Buying materials directly gives homeowners visibility into what the material actually costs, which some people prefer even when a contractor could source it. Contractors often carry accounts and buy at volume, so the savings are not automatic, and taking on material ordering also means taking on responsibility for quantities, timing, and anything that arrives short. For a small project, self-supply is straightforward. For a large hardscape build running on a schedule, most people are better off letting the contractor handle sourcing.

Having the dimensions of the area, the material you are considering, and your delivery address ready lets E.P. Jansen staff price an order accurately on the first call. Length and width drive nearly every quantity calculation, and depth matters for anything sold by the yard. Photos help when material selection is still open. Without measurements, any number given is an estimate that will move.

Getting started means either calling the yard at (845) 651-4106 or visiting in person at 161 Glenmere Ave in Florida, NY. Walking the yard is worth doing while material selection is still open, since displays and open pallets show color and texture in ways a website cannot. Bring measurements and photos if you have them. Staff will work through options, calculate quantities, and put together a list you can order from.
