One side of the enterance to my driveway has a short retaining wall and in the spring, there are blooming plants that pour over the wall - it's really pretty. The other side is level with the drive, no wall, and I want to make it mirror the other side.
Problem is, there's a tree there that I don't want to remove. It's a mature tree that turns vibrant yellow in the spring and then turns green in the summer. I don't know what kind of tree it is.
I think if I put a lot of dirt there, around the base of the trunk, I might smother the tree. I thought maybe if the build-up of dirt was done gradually, it might work.
I need to "raise" the tree about three feet for it to work, so the level will match the other side of the drive . Any ideas about this?
