How does it look so far? Should I put cardboard down before I mulch?
This huge red oak is 50-70 years old according to my local arborist. It’s only in moderate health, but it’s the centerpiece of the backyard and I want to keep it as long as possible. He prescribed root flare and mulch ring!
I pulled the first foot of dirt away by hand, then removed 4 feet of sod and about a dozen large wheelbarrows of dirt.

Beautiful. I might have poked around deeper. Definitely an improvement.
No cardboard, that defeats the purpose, add 1-4 inches of mulch, don’t pile against the trunk
So hot right now
Did you do slide 3 with your bare hands? Madman.
