Backyard Shed Ideas And Landscaping Around Trees

Backyard Shed Ideas And Landscaping Around Trees

By Darren Hartley


The problem of landscaping tree roots and trunks is solved by landscaping around trees. The problem is brought about by the fact that the tree gets accustomed to exposure which ultimately smothers and kills it. The solution is not covering the roots with soil, which only invites rot and infestation. The solution is landscaping around the tree which slowly acclimate the roots to soil coverage thereby saving the tree in the process.

The removal of the turf in a wide circle around the tree trunk and roots is the first step involved in landscaping around trees. This prevents the grass from competing with the tree trunk and roots in gaining access to the nutrients, water and oxygen in the soil.

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.

For a homeowner, building the storage shed of his dreams without spending money on its planning is a matter of the realization of backyard shed ideas. Gable, gambrel and colonial are among the styles in which these shed plans are available while storage, tool and children's play area are just some of the uses for which they are designed for.

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.

Part and parcel of backyard shed ideas are pegboards and open shelving. These elements not only provide accessible storage for keeping tools organized and out of the way when unwanted but also provide extra outdoor storage space. Why, these elements can also be converted to a planting station if desired.
