Instead of going through the hassle of removing a stump, use it as a planter. Chop out a cavity in the top of the stump, fill with soil, and plant a cascading plant in it. Old logs can be moved to your gardening area and planted as well.

It takes a while to get going, but they do eventually start to look good. I have two that I did about three years ago. I can relate to the fear of termites, but look at it this way; if the termites are concentrating on the planter, they will leave your house alone
Eventually your wood will break down. I have done this with both in-ground stumps and driftwood placed around bed edges and after many years, they both started slowly falling apart. Which resulted in some very nice soft composty stuff and the chance to change up the beds a bit.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
