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.

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 effective landscaping around trees.

The next step in landscaping around trees involves the placement of ground cover plants in the soil between the tree roots, making sure the large and primary roots are not cut or damaged. While the foliage of ground cover plants cover unsightly exposed roots, it does not restrict oxygen flow.

Backyard shed ideas enable a homeowner to build the storage shed of his dreams without spending money on its planning. These shed plans are available in a variety of styles and are designed for a variety of uses. Styles include gable, gambrel and colonial while uses include storage, tool and children's play area.

Giving pizzazz to a garden is achievable with the adoption of backyard shed ideas. The shed can be turned to a great work environment for hobbies by trimming its exterior with a cedar shake siding and a cozy porch and filling its interior with skylights. The former exudes a rustic charm while the latter provides 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.
