Whether you can skip the lumber has to do with soil type, rainfall numbers, etc. Here in Houston, if you skip the lumber, after our 72 hour monsoon rainstorms that drop 15-20 inches of rain, you will have 1" of good soil scattered across the yard, or worse it will all wash away down the storm drains.
