You dont want the bearers to rot so make sure there is adequate drainage.

some of the posts in my deck are just off ground level to solve the problem of drainage and also as your other question of grass, i layed down sheets of plastic and filled the ground with blue metal this is what you can use to assist with drainage...

Don't forget that your local Council by-laws may apply...

Use joist hangers off your bearers, to get extra clearance
