pine tree removal

A friend just cut down three big old Monterey Pines out of his yard. Does
anyone have thoughts about much of the root structure to get out and short
cuts for doing so?  It would be great to get it done right now so the soil
could be amended and some basic planting done before our winter rains
begin.

I saw the upended Monterey Pines and Monterey Cypress last winter in San
Francisco's Golden Gate Park and was surprised at how the upended trees
looked. Seemed like the root stucture was minimal -- a big "blob" right
under the ground at the base and then fairly small limbs. Is this typical?
Which if so seems like the root removal maybe won't be so bad.

Thanks,
Carol Moholt
