Default Roots rising to attention

Help...I live in Montana. Our lawn is beautiful and green. Our dirt is almost all sand. We have five poplar type trees...all about twenty years old...more than thirty feet high. Problem??? The saplings that pop up all over our yard are easy to rid..we simply mow over them while they're fresh and young. It's the big boy roots that are starting to appear throughout our yard that are worrying me. Dinner plate size root wads are everywhere. Are our trees surfacing through the light sandy soil because of too much watering? We only water our lawns once a week and when we do it quickly sinks through the sand to the clay six feet below turf.
Any help would be nice..Thank you
