Place trees in beds
Trees placed in
beds of ground covers and/or mulch will be healthier than trees placed in turf.
Mowing equipment compacts soil resulting in reduced tree root growth, and equipment
damages bark. String trimmers also cause tremendous damage to trees and can
kill them by cutting into bark around the trunk. Placing trees in beds eliminates
these problems entirely. Both newly planted and existing trees will benefit
from placing them in a bed.
