Four wheelbarrows full of landscaping rock from around the bases of our cherry and nectarine trees have been relocated to my mother's house. About a quart of worm castings (with a few worms and a handful of the clover we uprooted getting the rock out) and 5 gallons of soil conditioner were applied to the base of each tree, and they've been mulched to about 4 inches deep with shredded bark. I think that the trees are going to be happier this way. Now to do the same to the apricot, fig, apple and lemon. The plum's well established and doesn't seem to mind the rock as much, though the eventual goal is to replace the rock out front with mulch and the ornamentals with edibles.
