Trevor wants to eliminate grass around newly planted red oak and maples without damaging roots.
Physical Barrier: Install a border (concrete curb, bricks, landscape timbers) to stop grass rhizomes.
Manual Removal: Hand-pull grass—roots are deep and established; hand tools are safe.
Herbicide: Roundup (glyphosate) is safe if applied only to green foliage; it binds to soil and becomes inert. Avoid overspray on lawn. Spot-spray remaining grass after hand-pulling.
Final Steps: Lay landscape fabric and bark mulch over cleared area.
