How to weed tree wells?

Hi,

I have a question for the experts here. I recently moved to a new house(about 5 months now). What is a fast way to weed the grass/weedsgrowing from the tree well. Basically, the mulch/soil around my tree has weeds or unsightly grass growing in it. I tried my weed trimmer but that just scatters the mulch and dirt all over the place. I tried

picking them with my hands to get it out through the roots, but it is hard and scatters the dirt also. I have tried burying the weeds with more mulch, but it grows through it within a few days. There has got to be a better, efficient way to do this? Any suggestions or pics on how to do this? Someone had suggested using Roundup, but wouldn't that kill the tree? I have some pics so you can see. Thanks.
