The homeowner generally owns the service line from the curb stop to the house, and the water utility owns what sits on the street side of that valve. That split is why a leak in the yard is usually the property owner's problem while the same leak under the pavement is not. If you're not sure where your curb stop sits, a plumber can locate it before any digging happens.

A small amount of water at the base right after use is how the drain port is supposed to work, since the hydrant empties below the frost line. Constant wetness when the hydrant isn't running is a different matter and usually points to a worn plunger or a cracked standpipe. Either way it wants looking at before the ground freezes.

In most older homes here it's on the wall where the service line enters, usually the basement side facing the street, near the meter. Everyone in the house should know where it is before there's a reason to use it. If the valve is stiff or weeping, that's worth addressing while nothing is urgent.

Roots are more of a problem for drain and sewer piping than for a pressurised supply line, since supply pipe is sealed. Roots can still shift shallow piping over time. If an outdoor line moves enough, the joint at the wall is where it gives.
