Oak tree base decorations and dressing.

My trees are still small, but I have a little bit of mulch. Neighbor keeps his dirt with a clean edge.

I’m also interested in the responses.

bark mulch, cast iron plants, giant liriope and/or monkey grass and indica azaleas are all southern classics. Flip through any issue of southern living magazine for examples

just be careful with the shovel blade during install

cast iron plants look good.

I’m not a fan of the way these look.

Also, they are damn near impossible to kill once they take root. They’re also a haven for critters.

I would add dirt and compost, but slowly. You don’t want to choke out the roots. You can plant hydrangeas and other shade loving plants underneath the oak if enough sunlight gets in at some point in the day.
