"I love sugar maples, scarlet maples, and sycamores. "
Sugar Maples and Scarlet Maples are beautiful trees but slow growers. My step-father told me I would be an old man when they got big enough for shade and he was right. As for Sycamores, they should never be allowed to be planted in residential areas, parks maybe. They do grow fast, are one of the dirtiest trees there is, constantly dropping twigs, huge leaves the drop of a long period, chunks of bark flak offand the roots pop up out of the ground. Got two of them next to me that the owner wants to have taken out and I have offered to help pay the expense. All trees have some sort of draw back. The hybrid (thornless) Locus trees have small leaves that "melt" away, grow fast BUT are susceptible to bag worms.
Either trees are decease/pest susceptible, have roots that pop WAY up out of the ground, grow too slowly, are brittle and break off (Bradford Pear), drop nuisance balls, (Sweet Gum) which have great shape and are colorful, or some other problem. Ash Bores for instance.
Might be better to just put up a big tent.
