What is the easiest way to get grass to grow under my trees?

I have 2 large oak trees in my back yard and the shade is preventing grass from growing. I am thinking of tilling the dirt and seeding or would it be easiest to lay sod?

you can buy grass seed that grows in shady areas. You might want to consider some ground cover such as vinca. Your nursery may have several varieties of plants with different shades of green.
Look for shade tolerant grasses. Fescue is one and St Augustine.
