Even more sad is the potential damage from the roots as the tree ages - it will send roots under your driveway and crack it, they will attack your water and sewage pipes.

In small packed-together lots like in the villages Oaks can be very damaging. I lived in the country in N. Florida and had a lot of OLD oaks. It was "interesting" protecting both those beautiful old Oak trees and our well and septic tanks.
