Drive through any US suburb. Look at the trees.

Mulch volcanoes. EVERYWHERE.

Giant mounds of mulch piled against tree trunks like volcanos. 8, 10, 12 inches high. Touching the bark. Burying the root flare.

Your landscaper does this because it "looks neat."

It's killing your tree.

What mulch volcanoes cause:
Bark rot — constant moisture against bark creates fungal infections. The bark softens and decays.
Girdling roots — roots grow INTO the mulch instead of outward, circling the trunk and eventually strangling the tree.
Root suffocation — buried root flare can't breathe. Roots grow upward into mulch instead of down into soil.
Rodent damage — mice and voles nest in the warm, moist mulch and chew the bark. Ring-barking kills the tree.
Insect harbor — moisture-loving pests thrive.

CORRECT mulching:
2-4 inches deep. MAXIMUM.
Pull mulch AWAY from the trunk — leave a 3-6 inch gap.
Shape like a DONUT, not a volcano.
Spread to the drip line if possible.
Never touch bark.

The root flare (where trunk widens into roots) should ALWAYS be visible.

If your landscaper builds mulch volcanoes, fire your landscaper.

Your tree will thank you.
