If you don't want to cut down your tree,s get a shade tolerance grass. There is also the mondo grasses, they stay at one height. Needle point ivy grows slow and can be cut with a lawnmower. So ask questions before you cut down your trees. We need them.
The last issue of lawn care maintenance to be discussed here is weed and pest control. If you let weeds get out of control, they will end up taking over your lawn and killing it. You should be weeding your lawn regularly, and remember that the more often you do it, the longer it will take for the weeds to come back.
The best weed and pest control is a healthy lawn. Get the ph right and fertilize.
