Default Erosion around tree base

Our five poplar type trees live in very sandy soil. Other than my previous post where roots are popping up all over my yard, I would also like to know about the long exposed roots that are more at the base of the tree...from the trunk to about five feet into the yard. I was told that under no circumstance do we build dirt up around the trunk because it could cause trunk rot. But... can we build dirt up from trunk base level out to the yard?
