Living in North Carolina, my lawn and I endured the drought two summers ago. I
came out a lot better than the lawn. Last summer was hot but we got a fair
amount of rain. What I've noticed lately is how shallow the tree roots have
become.... my lawn tractor drags across them on the 3" setting and skins bark
off them when I mulch the leaves (I'm too lazy to rake).

What's up with the shallow roots? Will they resubmerge over time? What would
happen if I were to cover them with more dirt? My lawn at this point is damned
near gone anyway... I've been thinking about just killing it and starting over.
