Trees and Bermuda Lawn

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

I would like to have a few trees planted in my Bermuda lawn. I know that it is not likely that the Bermuda will withstand under the shade of most trees. My question is if I decide to plant trees, which types are best to keep the most Bermuda thriving? I am about 30 miles west of DFW area.

Whatever lets the bermuda get the most sun will be the best.

Something that doesn't have a wide, low hanging canopy.

thanks for the comment, but I am looking for maybe something more specific. I am not versed in trees. From what research I have done, maybe maple might be a good tree since it does let sun through and is not very dense?
