Can I bury wood boards to raise the level of my yard?
I have boards for my dock That have been replaced because they were not very sturdy. I was wondering if I could lay them on my yard put dirt and grass seed over them to raise the level up? Would it be bad to have rotting wood beneath the dirt?

Once they rot, the level will drop again. Perhaps put a layer of crushed stone down, then top with soil and grass
Hello there, Why not just use New Turf (Sod) with new soil.....
Wood, by it's nature, will eventually rot. Depending on whether they were chemically treated, your boards are going to decompose sooner - or later. That said, if you're going to lay them side by side rather than in a pile, you probably won't notice a thing as it decomposes. However, wood that is pressure treated will shed chemicals into the soil that you may not want. That's your decision to make.
it depends if the boards were treated with my chemicals, also once the wood deteriorates the ground will sink - probably not the best idea
