Dear Charlotte, 

Thank you for your question. Much depends on the species of your tree and how the surrounding area can be modified to redirect water. Many trees can tolerate having some larger roots exposed. It’s the exposure of feeder roots that indicates a need for intervention. Once you replace the soil, a shade-loving ground cover will help it stay in place. Two we recommend are Creeping Jenny and Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans); check our guide to Grass Alternatives to learn more about them. You could plant boxwoods to divert the water away from the tree. Boxwoods have relatively shallow roots, but they require a lot of sun, so you would need to plant them where they wouldn’t be shaded by your tree’s canopy. Here is our guide to Boxwoods. —T³ó±ð&²Ô²ú²õ±è;·¡»å¾±³Ù´Ç°ù²õ
