Mind you don't trample on the flowers.
Mind you don't trample the flowers.
Thanks,

The verb usually (maybe 'always') takes or implies a result or object. Both are acceptable to me.

Sorry!!! I typed "or object" instead of "an object". My apologies!
Trample is not the kind of verb that stands alone. "I am going out for a trample" (said the elephant).
The object or result of the trampling is needed. "There are signs of trampling." "Flowers have been trampled."
"I avoid trampling the flowers when weeding."
Does that make up for my error?
