I'd strip the turf and then stack it to may a loam bank. Simply poisoning the ground may seem easy, but it leaves you with an organic-rich upper layer that will probably cause problems with the gravel covering in the medium-term.
And what's the gravel for? Is this just a decorative area or is it to be a hard-standing? If you're planning on it being a hard-standing, you need a sub-base, so you've no real option other than to excavate to formation level.
