Not sure of the solution, or if you care at all, but a tree hates it when you re-establish
ground level further up the trunk. VERY bad for the tree. Will rot the trunk in time.
Or so they say, anyway. Enjoy your projects. Looks good.

I did not know this. I am going to have to look in to this now?

Might just split a 5 gallon bucket that's had the bottom taken out and use half on either side and back fill?
There are solutions out there, I just know that arborists tell you to never mulch up a trunk, to use no mulch at
the trunk and a sloping pile outward, kind of like an ant lion pit. There is a solution somewhere in a pile
of junk, you just have to find it.

This looks like the perfect BBQ/beer/cigar spot.
