Great Plants for the Shade in Texas

As a Landscaper, I get asked this question so many times every year. Many homeowners with mature trees face this problem all the time, especially those with Live Oaks. The story usually goes along the lines of, “I can’t get anything to grow under this tree that shades my entire house.” Well, fortunately for you. I’ve done my research and will give you a list of 10 plants that may help to decide on what to plant that will not only survive but thrive underneath the beautiful shade trees growing in your yard. This way you can save time and money by not making the common mistakes that many home owners do by installing sod or spending a small fortune on unnecessary tree trimming.
