Anyone ever built a sandbox around a tree? Did it kill the tree? Considering doing it but don't want to kill the LARGE pine tree it would be around.

Why would it kill the tree? When I worked at a centre we had two large maple trees in the sandbox and there were no issues. I think as long as you line the bottom with a weed proof liner that keeps ants out and lets water through it should be ok. I'm not a tree expert though!!

I wouldn't be worried about killing the pine tree. I would be far more concerned with the sap and debris from the tree contaminating the sandbox.

DD pointed out the cats having access too. Back to building the large sand table with the top!
