  • Amy I have St. Aug. grass that is thinning and dying in the front yard. i have 3 12 yr old live oaks planted next to each other who's roots are popping up. I really would like to till or aerate, but i'm worried about the roots. How would you recommend building this part of the yard up? I did compost and greensand last spring. When we first moved in, this part of the yard was plush. It feels that the yard has sunk at least a couple of inches, hence the roots showing. thanks Mario Cedar Park, TX

    Mario,

    Tree roots popping out of the soil is pretty common, the roots are where the trees breathe out of so you do not want to cover them up. You can spread compost between the roots to try and encourage grass to grow between the roots or you can plant some ground cover between the roots. If you have any other questions please let me know.
