14" inches from top of floor to ground. Here is a picture of the shed
before I sided it.

Be gentle...I built this by myself. Obviously not an expert.

Looks like a decent job.

Get two sheets of 3/4" treated plywood, and three 8-foot treated 2x12s.
Trim
each 2x12 to the length you want, then cut each one diagonally so you have
six
long wedges. Then build yourself a wedge-shaped box. That will give you
12-3/4" overall height -- the additional inch and a quarter probably isn't
going to cause you any trouble; I assume this is for a riding mower,
right?
It'll get over 1-1/4" easily.

OR

Get some retaining wall block units and build a sloping wall on both sides
from the ground up to the doorway, fill between the block walls with the
dirt stacked on the right in the picture, top with sod, gravel or
interlocking bricks. This way you will have a permanent ramp and won't have
wood in contact with the soil which could start to rot or attract termites
into the cut ends or edges of the PT lumber.
