If the footprint will become lawn, planting space or a patio, tell both the demolition provider and landscaper. The desired grade and whether a slab, blocks or gravel base remains can change the handoff.
Empty and identify
Remove stored chemicals, fuel, paint and unknown containers before demolition. Photograph electrical runs and point out any buried service you know about. A removal crew should not discover hazardous or unidentified material inside a closed cabinet.
Protect the route
Landscaping is easier to protect before new plants and edging go in. Agree on the route for carrying wall and roof sections, and mark irrigation components that may cross it.
Coordinate the base
A shed on skids is different from one anchored to a slab. Decide who removes anchors, blocks, gravel or concrete. Do not assume “shed removal” includes excavation or slab demolition.
Handoff checklist
Before the landscaper arrives, confirm the debris is gone, the requested base condition is visible, sharp hardware has been collected and any disturbed area is safe to inspect.
Sources and limits
Material-handling guidance references the U.S. EPA’s construction and demolition material guidance and CCA-treated wood fact sheet. Local facility rules and job conditions still need direct confirmation.
