Replicate mother nature.

A cedar tree of that size will remove 200 gallons of water a day. Mulch it lightly and then plant native shrubs with drip irrigtion to each shrub.

I need to disagree with agla here, putting that kind of top soil and materials, will cut off all air supply to the roots of the cedar tree and promptly kill it in Seattles wet climate.
