Why don't you guys just plant a groundcover under the trees? No more
mowing and no more problem with the above ground roots. You're happy.
The tree is happy.



That's ok IF you like the look of ground cover around a tree. I
don't. Therefore I wouldn't be happy. And the tree's happiness does
not come before mine.



Yeah-but, what if you accidentally kill the tree by suffocating
the roots? How will your happiness be effected by that?


Give it up. Some people only want you to tell them what they want to hear.
