You have more than a shade issue. Oak trees turn the soil beneath extremely
acetic, making it very difficult if not impossible to grow lawn grass
successfully. Sometimes liming with shallow tilling can help but usually
not, and can more likely damage your trees. I don't know where you're
located so I can't give you detailed recommendations, perhaps you can get
