Default Add Topsoil Or Mix Manure/Compost With Existing Soil?

Hi,

I am terracing a slope on our yard. I am unsure whether to put
in topsoil or just mix manure or compost into the existing soil.
Wouldn't the latter allow a higher concentration of plant
matter?

Also, I will need to temporarily move some plants while
terracing. What is best to do with those plants until
replanted?

Thanks,
Gary
