For the most part, yes. Developers tend to scrape away the good soil,
build ugly structures and then put back just enough marginal soil back to
cover their messes and to support grass.

Most Wisconsin gardeners in these parts spend their days reclaiming the
land and rebuilding the soil to where it again can sustain life. The
challenge is even greater when the development is on an old tired
cornfield.
