I do hope you know you just killed those arbs.........2ft of dirt on trees= death.

hi 4s we only put about 6in of clay around the trees jack

[Lanelle]

Roots need oxygen (air) to function. Clay is so tightly packed with fine particles that there is no air space. I'm afraid that 4S is right. Any more than two inches of soil will stress the trees. No, they don't die immediately. It will sometimes take a couple of years.

[Sprinkler Buddy]

With the majority of the root base left untouched,(Not Covered by additional dirt/clay), you guys really think that the trees won't adapt and continue to strive? Looking at the photo, you can plainly see it's not fresh dirt/clay completely surrounding their base. Just my .02 cents worth

[4seasons]

yeah they will adapt to a certain point.....slow death.
Seriously, look at the pics : dirt is pile onto the branches 15in-2ft up. pics say a thousand words.
