Plan for a Mulch Ring Alternative

What happens here

Based on the identified problems with paver borders, plan to replace the problematic border with a healthier and lower-maintenance mulch ring. The video suggests a solution involving "trenching this guy and putting in a mulch ring." This planning phase involves defining the new, larger perimeter for the mulch ring. It should typically be a circular or organic shape around the tree trunk, extending far enough from the trunk to accommodate future root growth without interference, providing a larger, healthier growing area for the tree.

Goal: Design an effective and sustainable mulch ring border.
