Hope someone can help me with this, I'm looking to take the outlet out and add a new box on top of the one in the ground, put a cover on the front on the old one.
Can it be done and do you think it will be hard to do this?

I’m not sure about here, but in many places, it would be legal for you to do this yourself as the homeowner but illegal for a helpful neighbor to do it for you. There would be unpleasant liability issues, for one thing, if you were electrocuted. Something like that has to be watertight. It’s not like running wires in the house. You need silicone-filled wire nuts, for example. Last summer my house got five inches of rain in one day. That box could potentially be partially underwater in a rain like that.
