Default adding soil around trees?

Will it hurt the trees to add 1-2 feet of soil around them so I can
mow around them?

Don't listen to these guys, I bury my tree's all the time!
works great with the few remaining black walnut trees I have and
it keeps down the 10" pine sticks of doom!


It shortens the trees' life, dood. That's fact. The roots go where the
oxygen, water, and nutrients, that that tree needs, are located. If
you put them (the roots) lower in the soil (even by a few inches),
you're depriving the tree of one, or even all of them.


Dude I was joking, I have not seen a reply so I assumed the OP was done with
the post.
besides it's like a graveyard in here lately, someone had to post something.
by the way I have plenty of trees with no exposed roots WTF?
