Here to chime in on the garden soil. Our home's main garden's had settled quite a bit over the years and we did a complete gut on one of them. Added 4 yds to main garden and spread two yards to the other gardens. We built the main garden up about 18" at the peak and in approximately 6 months it has settled at least 6 inches, maybe a few more. YMMV

Good garden soil has a lot of organic matter that will break down and cause subsidence. I usually add about 4-6 inches of garden soil over the top. I either use native soil as a base if it is going to be a raised bed or some suppliers sell a garden soil/native soil mix that works great as a base that can be finished off with garden soil as needed
