Absolutely echo comments above regarding raising the soil level around the tree, a big no no as it will mean at best the tree will struggle and fail to thrive and will probably eventually die. Decking is a good solution if you want to install a seating area around the tree, with planting around it to soften the edges. I would maybe look at a composite decking as it will mean less maintenance and will not become as slippery as timber in a shaded area, also if going for a contemporary look it can look very sleek, especially if choosing a grey or even black. You could also add in some lower growing shrubs, herbaceous, spring bulbs etc and create a edge of woodland feel to this area, which would have interest and create a lovely view, whatever the time of year. What ever you do good luck.

North facing will limit what can grow there, but luckily there is lots that will. Be careful with trees as some will become enormous and root spread can damage footpaths and driveways. I know this from experience when I planted a tiny Silver Birch that grew to 50ft and tore up my neighbours path, oops! Good small trees/shrubs are Cornus kousa, Japanese Maples (Acer palmatum), Viburnum tinus and Photinia. You can underplant with ferns, primulas, Anemones and snowdrops which all like shade.

What is this plant growing in my olive tree pot?
Q

Shame, it's quite an attractive weed! Still quite tempted to keep it. Right now it's on my living room windowsill, so it's not going to cause problems for anything else, and I can keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't affect the olive tree. Any idea why it only appeared in this one pot? There are loads of pots in my greenhouse, and I haven't seen anything like this in any others. My experience of weeds is that they normally take over. The Utricularia that is in the carnivorous plant pots has spread to pretty much every pot in there, as have the various Drosera species I keep (often thought of as the weeds of the carnivorous plant world, although most of us like them). Thanks
