pls ignore my abysmal grass rn. I am working on it, but the past few weekends have been taken up by this single project.
I edged circles around all the trees in my yard and filled them with black mulch. But this tree is the main attraction and was neglected for years. So of course I just had to give it a proportionally sized circle of it’s own. This circle is 10ft in diameter, and required 8 cubic yards of mulch to fill in. It was a lot of work to do by hand. I had to shovel and transport all the sod and 4 inches of soil underneath, expose the ground level roots, and remove the previous decades worth of mulch volcanos that previous owners had suffocated the tree with. I made the circle so large in order for it to encompass all the roots that were above ground level, so I can stop dulling my mower blades every time I have to go around the huge thing. I don’t think the image even does this tree justice in portraying how massive it is. It must be at least 100 years old.
EDIT: I am dumb. I meant to say Radius. Also, depth varies from 4in at the shallowest, up to over a foot around root structures.

I see what you did with the title

How did u make the circle of edging perfect around the tree
8 cubic yards for a 10’ diameter circle?? That would be 2’9” of mulch dude!
😂
Lordy, that is BEAUTIFUL!
0.97 cubic yards is what it would take to put a 4″ layer of mulch in a 10′ diameter circle. Did you mulch 2’8″ deep?
Now that’s a mulch ring. Good job.
