Im looking for advise on soil. Im starting to put thought into prepping for landscaping on a new house. We are left with a clayish sub soil that I need to build up after being excavated for the slab. I need to fill 200-250mm to get level with the slab/1st course brick across the block. I was going to just import top soil but then read that I should use something more organic to help the clay situation. While browsing soil supplier websites I found that there is top soil, organic top soil and organic garden mix. Which should I used? Thanks in advance.
