A new landscape bed under a mature Houston oak should start with mulch, not a load of fill soil spread over the roots.
Even a few inches of added soil can cut off oxygen to the fine feeder roots near the surface, and the decline often shows up in the canopy years later. Champions Tree Preservation's mulching and landscaping service works around the roots already there: keeping the root flare exposed, spreading a wide ring of coarse mulch instead of raising the grade, and tucking shade-tolerant plantings into pockets rather than tilling through the root zone.
The result looks finished and keeps a decades-old tree healthy underneath. Certified arborists bring the same preservation-first approach to properties across Memorial, River Oaks, The Woodlands, and Greater Houston.
