    Hello. I'm having a problem with Magnolia Tree Roots. The tree is very large, just a little over 2 stories high. The tree is our back neighbors and the roots are just coming up everywhere. I have a swing set and my kids have been tripping all over the roots and when they fall off the swing their back go right into the roots.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this other than keep putting dirt over the roots that seem to just reappear?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Buy wood play chips and spread those deep enough to cover the roots and provide a nice surface for the kids to use.
