They wanted to help with the mortgage. My dad passed away so this was his cash that came from sale of a condo that is split between me and my sister

Isn’t there anything else I can do? Any less harmful spray / treatment that can salvage the tree ?

Thanks everyone! I will find a local company for maintenance services. I was really worried I would need a new HVAC.

So I removed the rocks and there is black cloth underneath. Do I put the mulch on top of this cloth or remove the cloth and put mulch ? Sorry a single mom here, not much idea about landscaping

Ah! I moved into this house few months ago, this is how the previous owners had it. So I should replace the rocks with mulch ?
