i was an arborist before my current job. i used to tell people "you can have a live oak right here, or grass right here, but not both. "
If you did interior pruning in your trees, you'd get grass for a little while, but suckers would end that real quick.

interior pruning
This helps a lot. So many people just cut the ends off the limbs, but what is left is still thick as a blanket and blocks sunlight.
You need a trimmer who scampers around in there like a squirrel and cuts out all the uneccessary interior limbs and suckers so that daylight can get through. It can make an amazing difference in the beauty of the tree and the ability to grow grass beneath it.
My neighbor has two big live oaks in his front yard. He keeps them thinned, and his St. Aug beneath them looks as good as in nearby yards with no trees. A lady a few doors down never trims or thins her two, and her yard is mud, roots, and leaves.
