 >I just hope my precious old oaks don't die. >>

So, I killed a "Gentle Giant" and only changed the soil level on one side.
I was doing paths, and leveled them on my hillside, by throwing the excess
soil uphill, and in this case, just held the excess soil with liriope
clumps. May have changed the soil level 6 to 8 " on the downhill side.
Nothing went next to the trunk, or uphill from the trunk. It did take it
three or more years to die. Don't know how old it was, but it was a big
tree when we moved here 30 some years ago. Good luck - - - Nancy
