    This will depend on the flowers that you intend to use. Unfortunately, most are heliotropic and will follow the path of the sun, or stay roughly South.

    Soil and stones will be really helpful in raising an area. Grass will decompose and leave you right back where you started as far as soil level goes.

    A photo will help me to see what is going on, but usually if you want to fill an area or raise the level you will do this with soil, or filler rock.

    This is Lichen. It really is not harmful to your trees or plants but rather a result of growing conditions.

    Well, it is best to acclimate plants to the outside world before planting, but this really depends on the species of plants. Many are hardy enough to be ok without acclimatization, but some are not.

    Something to consider will be that planting around tree roots is very difficult. There is another way to go about this, though. Using a layer of mulch around the tree, so long as it isn't crowding the tree base, can get around needing to compete with tree roots. They will grow through the mulch or soil instead. In this way, you have many more options for plants, since they won't be needing access to the actual soil underneath.

    It can help some, but there might be a need for an additional drain in the area, but you will have to be mindful of the roots. You will not want to damage these.
