I plan to widen my drive to put in a path and an alpine bed. This will mean removing about 16sq.m of (poor) turf.
The problem I will have is disposal of the turf as there is nowhere to put it and that's a weight of turf!
My question is - would digging it under be simpler? I would plan to do it soon and wait until after winter to work on it?
Any guidance would be welcome, thanks.

I was going to suggest stacking them if you have the room, but the 2nd suggestion by BB sounds as if it would be better?

If you are planning to widen the drive, Ojibway, why not dig down to the depth of your good top-soil and fill the void with rubble or similar. The good soil goes onto your new alpine bed and the new drive goes over the rubble.

I make two uses for turf.
1 - I make a neat stack of turves, laid upside down, and use the resutant loam for my potting compost mix afer a couple of years.
2 - A couple of years ago we made some raised alpine beds in the middle of a grassed area. After lifting the turf it was turned upsdie down and stacked in the middle of the beds to give raised areas. The stack had a high point and then tailed down to one end. The stack was covered with a generous quantity of good top soil, humus and grit. This was several years ago and the beds still look good.
