I'm considering a Laurel Oak or Live Oak because they keep some of their leaves through the winter months. However, I keep hearing about how messy they are. Those of you who have these trees in your yard, what do you think? Do they drop their leaves year round, therefore, your yard has brown leaves on it all the time?
Please share your experience and ideas about what tree might provide shade without blocking the view at eye level.

Quercus hemisphaerica
Just paid a $1000 to have one of these
