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?

0	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!
