I'm going to risk sounding too pushy regarding oak trees...I don't mean too...many people don't like to deal with them and I respect that. But I just want to add one more thought FWIW...

A young live oak can be pruned in such a way that, as it grows, it does provide a broad canopy that leaves an unobstructed view under it...easily ten feet or a bit more.
