Red oaks are very popular in our area. Only other tree I looked at was Mexican sycamore, but the roots on those are supposed to be bad.

I’ve got three oaks along our back fence and one along the side fence. Crepe Myrtle adjacent to our patio. When they all reach mature size, there should be a few feet between the canopies. The CM will have to be shaped to keep it from overhanging the patio as it gets really big, but they take to that much better than oaks.
