Recently I posted about exposing some roots and removing river rock from around a tree. After your advice I finished the project.

Took about 8-10 man hours. Left me with about 1.5 tons of free dirt I can use for other projects. Left me with some excellent landscape fabric I can reuse (jk). Hostas have been replanted elsewhere.

What about those large rocks?

This circular area around the tree in our new house had a bunch of small river rock. I was digging them out and decided to work on exposing the root flare (as a casual to this sub that’s a buzz word).

Is the section I dug out too exposed, not enough, or just right?

And yes, all that fabric is going to go.
