Backyard Shed Ideas And Landscaping Around Trees

By Darren Hartley


Landscaping around trees solves the problem of landscaping tree roots and trunks. Such landscaping makes the tree accustomed to exposure and ultimately smothers and kills it. Simply covering with soil is not a solution as this invites rot and infestation. Landscaping around it slowly acclimate the roots to soil coverage thereby saving the tree.

By removing the turf in a wide circle around the tree trunk and roots, the grass is prevented to compete with the tree trunk and roots in gaining access to the nutrients, water and oxygen in the soil. This is the first step involved in landscaping around trees.

By the placement of ground cover plants in the soil between the tree roots, unsightly exposed roots are covered. This placement, however, does not restrict oxygen flow. It must be ensured, though, that the large and primary tree roots are not cut or damaged. This summarizes the next step in landscaping around trees.

Enabling a homeowner to build the storage shed of his dreams without spending money on its planning is the primary objective of backyard shed ideas. Available in a variety of styles, these shed plans are designed for a variety of uses. Gable, gambrel and colonial are just some of this style variety while a storage, tool and children's play area are just a number of these uses.

With backyard shed ideas, a homeowner can give pizzazz to his garden. The exterior of the handy shed could exude a rustic charm with its trimmings of a cedar shake siding and a cozy porch. To turn the shed to a great work environment for hobbies, filling its interior with skylights will provide it with natural light and warmth.

The many uses of pegboards and open shelving make it part and parcel of backyard shed ideas. They are primarily set up to keep tools organized and out of the way when unwanted. However, they may also be used to provide extra outdoor storage space or even converted to a planting station if a communication with nature is desired.
