I have a very large water oak that shades half of the front yard- no grass, just moss and dirt. Once the kids are old enough to no longer play on their tire swings I am going to add a lot of soil to make raised planting areas and plant a woodland garden under the tree- I wouldn't give that tree up for the world, i just love it!
