Need advice for newly planted tree/landscaping
Hello!
Hoping someone can help me out here. We just got a new 18ft Indian Laurel planted, and we were planning on putting a rock ring around it. All landscaping quotes we've gotten also gave a ring... but I have been researching first and found a bunch of people saying this is the ultimate tree killer...
My question is - if we put a rock ring around the tree shortly after planting and before the roots have had time to even stretch out at all... Does this solve the problem since the roots will just grow under it and not be harmed. I have big dogs and I would prefer to keep them away from my tree, and we will likely be putting in turf, so we also need some kind of border/barrier for that.
