very large Ash tree in yard has a large root exposed in the lawn/get scalped by mower. How do I fix it?

I don't want to mess up the grade of the lawn as it is near the front porch area. Problem with planting around it: There is already a planting area 2' around the trunk and the exposed root runs above the soil for about 5-6 feet from the trunk, thus very close to the front walk making a increased flowerbed not desireable.

Answer
Tough one. I have heard you should not cover exposed roots or trunk with dirt. It could cause rot. A professional arborist told me this. For some trees this is just the way they grow. I have a huge ash in my yard. At one time I was thinking of planting flowers around it. My plan was to incorporate the exposed root system into the design so as not to cover the roots. I think it would have made an interesting design. Didn't do it 'cause I have decided to move.

Best Wishes on your project.
