Hi all,

I am a first time home-owner, and I just bought a new house where they
only landscaped the front yard. I want to ensure that when I do the
backyard, I do it properly, right down to the last detail. When my
neighbor did hers, she just brought in topsoil and laid sod right on top
of it and that was it. I'm sure a professional would do more than this.
Am I right?

Nope, in fact most don't even bother with the topsoil. Bad mistake.
