Here are the best landscaping around trees for your front and backyard. Hide those messy roots, decorate the tree, and make it a focal point with these ideas. I am sure you will love them.
One more thing, some landscaping ideas need a little bit of maintenance to keep the surroundings clean week after week. So be ready for it. Now let’s get started.
1. Build a Beautiful Flower Bed
Build a colorful flower bed around the tree and let them cover the roots. Then edge the area with bricks or stones to further enhance the view.
Do not think much of flowers. Plant any flowers that come in handy and they will look good. Once in a while, remove the weeds or add some mulch to reduce the dirt around it.
2. Let the Plants Grow Automatically
Yes, you do not need to work extra hours. Just let the plants do their thing and grow as they want. Then come and trim them to make them look nice.
You can also plant those grasses near the tree roots for faster growth from seed. They will cover your messy tree roots and will give it a cool look.
3. Cover the Area with Something Strong
You can go with metal, stones, or concrete. Just build a circle or square and hide the tree roots. But make sure the soil gets the water it needs. So leave a gap for it.
And know that it is permanent and you can not undo it. So choose wisely.
4. Hide it with Shrubs
Arborviates or shrubs can hide the roots beautifully by building a design around the tree.
But you must use them creatively. And once in a while trim them so that they do not overgrow.
5. Plant Flower near the Root
Plant any flowers you want but do not build a big flower bed. Keep it short and simple and let the flowers grow and cover the area. I am sure they will look good.
6. Light Up Your Trees
Light up your trees and make them glow in the night. Just buy those small tiny lights and circle them, give them the electric connection, and boom.
7. Edge with Rocks
As you have seen in the featured image the tree roots are edged with bricks, here it is with stones. Both look good and will improve the view and reduce mess in the yard. Give them a try.
8. Keep it Neat and Clean
I have told you some ideas may need a maintenance guy to keep the clean and tidy all the time, and this landscaping idea is one of them.
Clean the area weekly so the weeds do not have time to grow. Yes, it is tough work but it will be worth the effort.
9. Circle it with Stones
Circle your tree roots with stones just like shown in the picture. They look just awesome.
Then plant flowers along the way. Add some mulch to reduce the weeds and dirt. Isn’t it a cool idea?
10. Add Mulch Around it
If you fear weeds, then you must add brown mulch or black mulch around the tree. They will reduce the maintenance work and make your life easier.
Last Words
So these are the best landscaping around trees I can give you. Choose the one you like the most and has the least amount of work. I wish you the best of luck.
