[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1024898, member: 13268"] Stocky thats a great question in which I can answer as I am a certified arborist. Lauralee has given you alot of good info but here is a few things I would like to point out. If you are trying to avoid cutting under the tree and you put mulch down you will need to put it down so thin that grass is gonna come back through pretty quick. I also would not use the commercial mulch as its treated with chemicals if anything I would find a local tree company and get chipped mulch but refer back to my point of grass is gonna come through it regardless.The absolute max should be 2" nothing more. I have to agree about the helping the tree there is alot of people that think mulch will help every tree if you put mulch around it that is not necessarily the case when it comes to the trees that roots spread across the top of the ground. If you put compost mix on the roots in a thin layer yes that would help the tree. The bottom line is those roots are for gathering air you lay down and let someone partially smother you and you tell me how it feels. I know alot of people spray round up aroud trees and I have done it myself but I do not spray around trees with exposed roots and don't get it on the tree trunk.
