What tree is the least problematic in any way, (including pipes underground, or mess on sidewalk, etc)?

I personally like palm trees. Japanese maples seem pretty good as well.

I really like crape myrtles. Easy maintenance. They don’t make a mess, don’t wrap their roots around pipes or lift sidewalks, and they have showy flowers in July/August. And they don’t get overly big.

Thanks @seawulf575 and @2davidc8

The Japanese maples come in a variety of colors and styles. I personally like the waterfall maples, but that is me. They don’t get huge and they are unique looking. But really, it depends on your own tastes.

I’ve found the Red Bud trees to be good yard/shade trees. I love Bradford Pears but they split too easily.
