Foundation decision: keep or remove the floor; keep or remove skids/blocks; keep anchors flush or fully removed; leave slab, gravel, or soil; note the planned next use.
Start by identifying the base
Look beneath the shed from more than one side. Common bases include wood skids, concrete blocks, gravel, pavers, earth anchors, a wood platform, or a poured slab.
The shed and slab are separate decisions
A shed can be removed while a sound slab stays for a replacement structure, patio, or work area. Slab breaking and concrete haul-away require different equipment and debris planning.
Plan the next use of the footprint
If a new shed is coming, ask the installer what base it needs before removing anything below the old structure. If the area will become lawn, drainage and soil work may follow after debris is gone.
Watch for hidden connections
Old conduit, anchor bolts, irrigation, or improvised wiring can appear only after wall panels and flooring come off. Stop and assess anything that looks active or unfamiliar.
Put the finish condition in writing
Useful language is specific: “remove shed to the top of the slab,” “remove skids and blocks,” or “leave gravel level.” That is clearer than assuming the site will be bare soil.
