Suburban Backyard Trees

Looking to plant a few trees in the backyard for shade/looks. Have been eyeing a fast growing softwood. However, how hard and expensive would it be to plant a semi-mature hardwood?
Pros/cons of some of the trees y'all have in your yards?

Plant native trees whatever you do. Silver maple grow really fast, but can be a bit messy.

Trees by the house sucks.

If you live in a hurricane area look up hurricane resistant trees.

The bigger you go the more expensive it will be. A friend of mine just had two 20' live oaks planted in his yard. They ran about 5k I believe for both.
You can get a couple 4" diameter that would be 8-12 ft prob dependant on spieces but that would run between 500 or so I would guess planted. When you get over that size, price jumps considerable because they take so much more to handle them.

I planted 2 river birch last year
they have already tripled in size, so if you can wait a year, you can typically save a lot of money by just buying the smaller trees
