Pretty much what happened before trying to replant about 10x10 on side closest to driveway. Oak is on other side of driveway.

When I moved into my house I completely torn out my old yard and resoded my lawn. I also have two massive live oaks in my yard. My grass did just fine. I aerate once a year and water a little more than I normally would. If you do those things along with the normal feeding your lawn should be fine.
