Someone made a good point about new trees. The first house we built (in '73), had a scraped bare lot. We put in two trees and moved four years later. In 2008 my DIL and I went back there to see where her husband/our son grew up. Our two spindly young trees were gone, but several huge trees were in their place. It is beautiful.

Not every live oak is worth saving. Many that are have some sort of protection.
