Q.If My Neighbor Cut Down A Large Oak Tree That Was Invading My Property And Close To My Foundation, But Leaving The Stump, Will The
roots still grow and possibly damage my foundation? Should I have the stump removed to stop roots from growing

Yes, the tree may try to regrow. You can apply a stump killer product or have the stump ground. If you see any new growth come up after that, apply glyphosate.
