You could cut some of the roots if you would want to!

If you care about the trees, don't interfere too much with the roots. Covering them with topsoil isn't recommended - it can make the roots rot, and then the tree will receive less nourishment. You could add small amounts of soil in between the roots and plant things with shallow roots that like shade.
