Is it safe to use landscaping fabric around established trees with an exposed root system?

I have a large maple tree about 30 years old with a partially exposed root system. It is difficult to mow around the roots and I would like to place landscaping fabric around the tree and cover the fabric with pine straw mulch. Then I could set potted plants around it. The root system is so dense that my attempts with planting hostas and caladiums has been futile.

I would think that would be fine, we’ve put it around old trees before without any problems.
you have the perfect plan.
The point of landscape fabric is that the rain and air can still get through.So the roots will be happy enough and the tree will still get what it needs.
You will find eventually ( in years) that the roots will push up into the by then rotted down and inviting mulch but I am talking years.
good luck
