Actually both 에서 and 부터 may be used for both time and place, and even to refer to conceptual things. They have a subtle difference in connotation, like 에서 carries the sense of an originating source while 부터 simply indicates starting point.
에서부터 is also common. It includes the senses of both 에서 and 부터, and works particularly well for describing an action or process that is starting out fresh from a place, time, or even a situation.
- 여기에서 [여기부터, 여기에서부터] 집까지 30분 걸린다 (place).
- 1시부터 [1시에서부터] 축구 중계를 한다 (time. 에서 is not natural without 까지, when applied to time).
- 1시에서 [부터, 에서부터] 3시까지 축구 중계를 한다 (time. All are natural when used with 까지)
- 큰일을 하려면 작은 일부터 [에서부터] 신경을 써야 한다 (에서 is not natural) is not natural)
- 큰 사고도 작은 일에서 [부터, 에서부터] 시작된다. (에서=source, 부터=start point, 에서부터=both)
In conversation, 에서 is usually shortened to 서, as in 여기서부터 얼마나 걸려요? and 축구 중계는 몇 시서부터 해요?

You can say like this
서울에서 부산까지 2시간이 걸린다
여기에서 저기까지가 우리 학교다
여기부터 저기까지는 들어가면 안된다

That seems very strange to me. I think it should be either 부터 or 에서, not both at the same time.
But maybe I am mistaken
