Another view. Red and blue triangles are the configurations I'm thinking about. You can see the house in the back from here.
It slopes away from the house, so water has the tendency to collect around the shed and if there's alot, it runs around the corner to the front red circle. (would be perfect for a rain garden...
)
Oh and I have a small (two feet tall) Carpinus fangiana growing further along (yellow dotted line). Like....15-20ft from the bottom red triangle again.
