Crunch, the simple solution is to just take a short (~ 6" - 8" piece of thin plastic drainage pipe or similar and slit it open lengthwise. Then open it enough to slip it around the trunk of the tree at ground level.

The thin plastic barrier is all that is needed to keep the line from skinning the tree if you get too close.

It will also keep little critters from eating the bark and girdling the trees during the winter as they burrow under the snow looking for food.

Best of luck.
