The experts over at Fine Gardening help out in this episode of How to Build a Tool Shed. Landscaping is an important part of any build because they act as shadows and accents to the shed design. Although the landscape around the shed is not incredibly important to the structural integrity of the shed, it will definitely produce a few compliments from passing heads. The Fine Gardening team in this video bring up specific points that are important to note in all building endeavors where landscaping is involved (all of them). You must always consider the environment your build is in. The shed’s proximity to the forest means that the plants chosen must be picked with consideration of the animals that are nearby, as well as how much sunlight these plants would get given the amount of shade covering the shed. Landscaping around your shed will add another dimension to your build, but it is important to select your vegetation wisely.
