Kill stump

I am having two large evergreen bushes removed. They were standing on each side of my front walk. I intend to put large decorative pots in their place with appropriate plants. (Suggestions welcome -mini-climate is So. Calif coastal) What's the fastest way to kill the stumps (approx 10-12" diameter)? Last time I dealt with a stump, decades ago, one was supposed to buy a chemical and introduce it via holes bored in the stump. Gardener just told me to use gasoline. Any information out there on (a) fastest and (b) most effective, and maybe (c) least expensive way. (though that's not the deciding factor ). Persephone Fastest is hire a bloke with a stump grinder. In half an hour they will be turned into shavings that you can use as mulch. Stay out of the way these are fearsome beasties. Medium, drill the stumps and pour straight glyphosate into the holes. But then once they are dead what will you do with the dead stumps? Is the gasoline supposed to burn them up or poison them? I don't see it being very effective in either mode with a thick stump.
