Default Raised bed soil change

I have just rendered my wifes raised flower beds with random stone effect render and formed stone copings, you really can't tell the difference from real stone, the flexcement material I use is amazing. Anyway my question is as the top soil is not very deep and is not of brilliant quality, do I just add top soil on the surface or will all the bulbs and shrubs all have to be replanted in better quality soil.

Check out your local council's green bin depot. Ours lets us have unlimited
compost free if we take bags and help ourselves. Very handy for filling a
large space like a raised bed. The farmers are also good for free horse
manure if you collect it.
