Step 5: Continue digging out the hole.
Continue to remove all the grass from within the circle. Remember, the diameter of the circle will be three times the width of the root ball of the tree. Remove any remaining dark top soil and place it with the top soil from the grass into a wheelbarrow. Mix this fertile top soil with rich compost to surround the new roots of the tree. What won’t fit in the wheelbarrow, set aside on the tarp to use later. Remove the remaining sub-soil and place it on another tarp. Consider using small tarps and don’t overload them, which makes lifting and moving the contents around easier.
 Place the sub soil on a different tarp.
