If you want a physical backdrop you can search for RailRoal Layout backdrops. There are a few on line outlets that sell these as posters.
Most of the layouts I do for features have been done with photoshop. The backdrop is just a standard size photo or scan of a scene with the model overlayed on it. You have to be aware of perspective and depth and angle of sight when doing this, a well as natural environment. Take a look at the OD (on display) The Crossing - check out the center of the backdrop very carefully. You'll notice another trick - mirrors. You can use a mirror to add depth and width to a layout. In the crossing there is a mirror image of the skinny tree in the middle.
