Dream house, but...loads of tall trees in the garden...what to do?!

So...we have found a really lovely house with a big (100 ft), west-facing garden, the only snag is it has loads of v. tall trees (I would guess some of them are about 30 ft) both in our garden and the garden next door which means even on a sunny day, the garden feels v. shady. We are only really moving for a garden (have a concrete patio at the moment), and although I am not against trees per se, I just wondered what people's thoughts are - I am not a big sun-bather, but like the idea of a glass of wine in the sunshine from time to time...anyone else with a garden filled with trees? Would love to hear your thoughts on advantages / disadvantages...we have 2 kids who will use it a LOT. Thanks!

There are some lovely garden designs that talk about incorporating trees into the design so that the garden looks like part of the surrounding landscape
