I have a large tree where the roots have been exposed for years, mowing is a pain. Can I bury them and re-sod?

Question:

Answers:
Sure. The reason they are on top the ground is that they needed water. Thats the reason for "deep watering". Roots normally grow underground so you won't harm them.

cover with 2-3" of soil and mulch to drip line

You can bury them and resod but over the years they will start to become exposed again. However for the time being covering and resodding is your best bet.

I have the same problem...I dug around the roots that hit my blade.chainsawed them...covered the hole...no negative results...I hate them!

---

if you dont want to harm the tree, your best be is adding mulch around the tree. it also prevents grass from growing in the areas that you mulch.

If you chain saw the roots you may end up with a tree on the ground in the next big storm.

Cover and re-seed/sod. Covering will also help anrchor the tree better too.
