It takes time for soil to settle. Water (as appropriate to your
local seasons), and the soil will settle into any voids.

Is there an actual problem that you are experiencing with your
trees? Or are you just looking for problems while waiting for the
next season comes around? (I've done that more than a few times.)


I've had almost every recently planted tree die and I'm looking for the reason.
