Add more dirt and plant shade loving plants like hostas and ferns.
Wow! That would look awesome!
thanks!
Fill in the lost dirt. Check out this website. They have plants that you can walk on and will grow in shaded areas.

Trees block the sun as well as suck up a lot of water so it isn't uncommon to have a barren spot underneath them. I have put my yard clippings around the trees and also bought damaged bags of mulch when I find them and put that around them. Don't put the mulch right up against your tree as that will encourage bugs, leave a slight trough around the base of the tree and then mulch. I have used stones around the outside of the mulch to keep it in place and also to make it easier to mow and week wack around the tree. I pick up stones from the fields around me and also in my travels. Makes it interesting when the stones have some stories behind them.
TY! Good idea!
