Stump Slayers

Short answer: yes, they can. Tree roots naturally grow toward moisture, and the soil around your foundation tends to hold it.
Over time, roots can press against concrete, work into existing cracks, or dry out the soil enough that the ground shifts underneath the slab. Old stumps left in the ground keep sending out roots, too, even after the tree is gone.
If you've got a stump close to your house, garage, or driveway, grinding it down stops the root system from spreading further.

Old stumps cause real problems in your yard. Freeze-thaw cycles loosen the surrounding soil, roots keep spreading underground, and the wood becomes a magnet for carpenter ants and wood-boring insects. Add in tripping hazards for kids and damage risk to mowers, and that little stump turns into a big headache.
Grinding it out clears the space, protects your property, and keeps the rest of your yard healthy.
