Complicated, because entire libraries have been written on this specific subject, and people get doctorates while trying to learn the answers.

We had a large tree, possibly Ash, go bad on us several years ago on the front yard which had to be completely uprooted. The grass since then has not grown well since and it seems we may have had a fungus or two, The grass was yellow and dying. We live in San Antonio. I've been afraid to place another tree there because of that. If we can place a tree, what do you all recommend? We don't like a lot of leaves but do like the Oaks. The sun really hits our front of the house.
Thanks!
