Bricks by shed are going away along with the soccer nets.

It looks like it needs to be moved off the cement to see what’s really going on underneath it. If you didn’t want to pour a new cement slab are planning on getting rid of it or moving it to different area?

No yard is very small, nowhere else to put it. I was thinking putting sand or pavers or something to set shed on.

the dirt in front of the shed doors i think is coming from the back half of shed. underne that dirt in front of the shed doors is concrete. The concrete only extends like 3 or 4 feet in. Then it’s dirt up to the fence.

Where is the concrete? From what I can see by enlarging the photo, it looks like it is seated on wooden forms.

For stability and to extend its life, I would make sure it was fully seated on concrete. But it does not have to be a poured slab....concrete pavers, if properly laid and leveled, will work equally as well and are fully DIY.

Awesome that’s exactly what I needed to know. Yes I’m fully DIY ... I was thinking pavers like 16x16 ? Also Would it look tacky if I turned the shed facing the yard and laid some brick pavers in front of shed doors Or would the pavers look like it’s too much because of the concrete?

Oh also... is it best to keep the shed on the platform or set the shed on the concrete and concrete pavers?

I don't see why you couldn't alter the current shed alignment :-) I am not sure how it would intersect with the current hardscaping but pavers (and I'd stick with the concrete pavers) might be necessary if the entry is too high above grade.

I don’t understand what you mean by saying “half dirt half concrete causing a mess.” Is there dirt seeping out from under the shed when it rains and that’s the mess you are referring to? If so, you have a drainage issue which may or may not be fixed by setting the shed on concrete or pavers.

Is the shed wedged right into the corner of the property line? If so, is the land on the other side of those fences higher than your land?

Ahhh... I see what you mean about the intersection. Maybe best to leave shed the direction it’s in.

Honestly littlebug( love that name!) I’m not sure where the dirt is coming from I always thought the shed was completely on dirt until we dug that stump out and seen the concrete. If you look at pic the concrete on the side of the shed stop midpoint . So front half of shed is in concrete slab but back half is on dirt. My corner is higher the neighbors but my yard does slope leaving my shed at the bottom of slope.

I never bothered shoveling the dirt in front of my shed because I assumed it was dirt. Embarrassing now that I’m saying it😜. But if I were to shovel dirt in front of shed doors it’s concrete underneath.

Dirt could be coming from property behind shed in which case your dirt slide will happen again.

What are you planning to do with this shed? Putting something heavy in it is different than storing your kids' basketballs. That will affect the foundation it requires.

Not too much. The usuals.... lawn mower, blower , trimmers, tables chairs. 2 bikes. Big shelf for misc... gardening soil, mortar etc.

I’ll have to look at neighbors fence after work to be sure. If it is how do I fix that?

if it is coming from neighbor their back area I would think you could put up some sort of barrier to keep dirt from sliding down. Do you have issues with rain coming through that area?

The yard to the left facing shed is concrete driveway and I’m pretty sure house behind shed sits lower then my shed.

No

I guess I really need to move the shed first to see what I’m dealing with. But I’m going with concrete pavers to finish off the slab for sure. I’ll take it all the way to the fence.

Probably better to keep shed on wooden platform then set it in concrete/ paver

I wonder if the shed only has wood/concrete under the front was to level the shed - if the ground slopes from the back to the front....? If that is the case, you'd need to consider the leveling needs when you move the shed and put a new base under it. Our shed is on top of 2'x2' concrete paving slabs set on a leveled crushed gravel base. Because the soil is damp in that area, the guys who built the shed for us had to add several times more gravel than he expected before it finally stopped disappearing when they compacted it with the plate compactor! So consider if leveling will be an issue when you move the shed and make a new base

Ugh..., your right. Thank you.

Anyone have any experience with paver panels??

We used pavers under our shed with no issues but you need to make sure you make a bed of gravel for the pavers to be installed basically like making a small patio. Honestly not much easier than a concrete pad

Laying pavers is far easier than pouring a concrete slab!! Just try the two different methods and you will see how much more work a poured slab will take. Laying pavers is an easily accomplished DIY project whereas pouring concrete takes some practice and skills that not everyone has.

There are countless how-to videos and explanations/directions available online. Essentially you need to dig out the area the shed will sit on and fill with crushed rock or paving base. Make sure that has been compacted and level and then just lay the pavers on top, with as close jointing as possible. You can use sand to fill in the cracks if necessary.

I have done this many times over the years, the last being the construction of a small patio extension just two years ago. And I am an old lady!! :-) A fast weekend project for someone younger and more fit.

Yes I’ve laid pavers before but I’ve never used paver panels. If I’m correct I think it eliminates the gravel step.

What do you mean by paver panels? Just the larger slabs? If the slabs (12"x12" or larger), you still need a leveled, crushed gravel base for maximum stability and a long lasting installation.

The concrete pavers are laid directly on top of the panels. Dirt needs to be leveled with leveling sand then panels then pavers.

Apparently no gravel needed and 1/2 in sand needed instead of the usual 1 in.

Inch

Not something I've used or seen used before and I don't know of any landscape contractors that favor them. Looks like they could shortcut things for a DIY'er but I'd be suspect about their long term stability. But they might work OK for such a small area to be covered.

ETA: I:m not sure how well these panels would work if you are subject to frost heave/thaw cycles. I tend to forget about them as the ground doesn't freeze here :-)
