What kind of trees do you have?
You can't really grow grass under trees like that. Some people mulch all around it. If you don't want to do that you can try Barrenwort (Epimedium) which spreads moderately. Another option is Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum".
Hi Wanda. I'm Cindy. Depending on the size of your small yard, you could benefit from a small floating deck. If you ever move, you could take it with you. I'm recommending it because it could be installed right over the tree roots. If it's not possible, you could still create a small oasis. Accentuate the curves in the yard by putting a boarder with them. A boarder can be made with bricks, pavers, or large rocks. Put a few plants in those curves, whether potted or in the ground. Plants are a great way to create a relaxing retreat. Add a couple pieces of garden art, of course DIY, perhaps a wind chime or a bird house. Put a couple chairs in the yard with a small table between them. Indoor / Outdoor pillows would make a nice addition. Wishing you all the best.
