Tree Roots

Question

My trees have roots that are growing above the ground and the lawn and grass is skimpy. What should I do?

Answer 1

Trees benefit from a layer of mulch under the tree out to the dripline. That may cover the roots and the skimpy grass. This article also suggests planting a ground cover like monkey grass instead of the grass.
