We are starting over with new landscape shrubs and ground cover behind some retaining walls we installed. How deep should the top soil fill we will import be?

The required soil depth really depends upon what you plan to plant there; annuals need 6-8"; perennial flowers about 12"; small shrubs 12-18"; medium sized shrubs about 24". Best wishes with your new project!
