Hello! Not long ago Plumbers tore up my back yard. When they did they brought up a lot of sandy, clayish soil. I have plans for a beautiful flower garden, and I'm afraid they've ruined the soil! My soil is just awful! Is there any products that you can send me I can spread around the yard, that may help things to grow in it again please? Would you recommend I just fill it all with new top soil?

Good morning! In this situation, we would really suggest that you have a soil sample taken and sent into a soil analysis lab, as they will tell you what may be missing from the soil. You may also explain to them that you are looking to start a flower garden in this area. They may suggest topsoil or for you to introduce soil amendments or minerals into the area. Wishing you luck on your new flower garden! Sarah

Thank you and Happy Gardening! ~ Sarah
