Try these amazing-looking landscaping ideas around your tree roots to hide them beautifully. I love them and you will be too.
But first, you must know a few things before you choose a design.
Every landscape design will hide your messy tree roots, but some ideas may need weekly maintenance work like removing the dirt, cutting grasses, or cleaning the surroundings.
I hope you are okay with that. So with that here are the beautiful tree root landscaping ideas.
1. Build a Bench for Decoration
This bench is not for sitting but for decoration.
Yes, you can sit on it and enjoy nature, but the main purpose of this design is to cover the roots in a unique way.
Yes, it will cost you good money as wood is not cheap.
But there is no maintenance work for you to keep the messy roots hidden for years. That is the biggest positive sign, I think.
2. Circle the Roots with Stones
First circle it with stones or loose bricks and then plant those plants so that you can not see the roots anymore.
Add some mulch to reduce the dirt and weeds build up.
I highly recommend this idea to you.
3. Edge with Concreate
If you want a permanent solution then edging with concrete will do the job perfectly.
Hire someone to do it for you as this is a tough work for a beginner.
4. Build a Small Garden Bed Around it
The best way to hide the roots is to camouflage it. Add more greenery to the area so that the tree roots are hidden.
But it will take good effort to manage. Keep that in mind and go for it.
5. Add Black Mulch to the Roots
Mulch reduces dirt and keeps the surroundings clean all the time. Add some back mulch around the tree roots now.
With that, your maintenance will be less and no weeds will ever be able to grow there.
The mulch will hold some moisture that will help the tree to grow faster. Try it.
6. Edge with Bricks
I like edging landscape design and that is why I highly recommend this.
But this design does not look messy but beautiful. Just edge the area so that the roots do not spred everywhere.
7. Let the Plants Grow Automatically
Do nothing and sit back and let the plants grow automatically. Slowly they will cover your roots in a few days.
Once a while, clean the area so that the grass and the plants do not grow above the mark and create a big mess.
Keep them in control. Okay!
8. Get a Stone Cover for the Roots
You can buy this cover from your nearest tile store to cover up the messy roots or you can build it at home using cement and sand.
I leave that to you.
9. Build a Flower Bed
Another marvelous idea to hide the messy roots beautifully.
You can build a garden bed or a flower bed to hide the roots.
Both work fine. But I think the flower bed will suit the best.
10. Plant Small Plant Under the Tree
The small plants will hide the roots when the grow up.
All you need to do is to clean the area for a better view that is it.
Last Words
So these are the best landscaping ideas around tree roots to hide that mess beautifully.
Some ideas will take good efforts like the flower bed and concrete, I recommend you hire someone to do it for you.
Keep that in mind. I wish you the best of luck.
