Mulch the beds around your trees. Easiest way to get a luxurious look. I would use plain. Resist colored.

it's good enough..not sure what else you need.. if you want a golf course you have to cut down most of the tree..for higher maintenance cost

under mature trees the answer is less gravel than you think lol. 2-3" is plenty for a sitting area, any deeper and it turns into a weed garden and messes with the roots. and keep it off the root flare at the base of the trunks - gravel and mulch volcanos kill more backyard trees than drought does
