An arborist friend told me that the older the tree, the less tolerant they were for fill. The safest way is not to fill at all under the drip line (the edge of the area shaded by the canopy.) If you have to fill closer, build a wall to keep the soil from slumping in towards the trunk. Less than a foot of fill probably isn't too bad, the more you exceed that, and the older the tree is, the bigger the potential problem. Young trees are pretty tolerant, old ones aren't (kind of like people when you think of it.)
