Landscaping With Tuff Shed

When you’ve got a pristine new Tuff Shed in your yard, landscaping around it can add that last bit of extra polish—the kind that makes you feel like your backyard should be on the cover of a homeowner magazine 

Here are a few ideas to get you started on landscaping around your new Tuff Shed (opens in a new window). 

Placement Considerations

When planting around your shed, consider placement and lighting. Avoid planting water-hogging plants near the foundation if your shed is on a concrete pad.

It’s also best to avoid planting trees very close to your shed because thick and powerful roots can cause ground-shifting problems beneath the structure. 

Generally, it’s also best to avoid placing a shed in a shady place where moisture can build up. Tuff Sheds come with galvanized steel or treated lumber floor joists to minimize those problems, but it’s still wise to consider placement. Plus, optimizing for good sunlight will help the plants in your landscape around the shed grow.
