Before you buy, look at what's actually in it and make sure it's not just peat, coir, and/or processed forest products. All those will break down and leave you back at square one.

What you want is actual topsoil, which is essentially pulverized minerals (coarse rock dust, if you will).
I think you're wrong about that statement. You want to add organic and you want it to break down overtime, that's what makes your existing soil to improve your soil. And remember inorganic like sand and other fine Products Will suffocate the roots and they'll die right off you'll get extreme root rot the plant will die. And actually the directions op above that stated you mix it into the existing soil is absolutely correct.
Lots of discourse about topsoil here BUT THIS ISN"T TOPSOIL.

Put this in a raised bed, not your lawn.

And soil breaks down, mixing fine sand with the top soil will help, too. Sand is inorganic, will not break down

Topsoil should be at least 95% inorganic particles of coarse, medium, and fine sizes. The coarse particles are sand, the medium are silt, and the fine are clay.

When adding sand, make sure the topsoil isn't a high percentage of clay, because that can actually make it more like cement. A high percentage of coarse sand mixed with a good, loamy topsoil can definitely make it more free-draining.

Reviews seem pretty good on this brand. The Miracle Grow soil that Lowe's has is mostly tree bark that floats away at the first heavy rain.

I bought these Walmart brand several bags ($4/ea) last year before winter hits and these by far really damn good soil compare to others I've bought from Lowes and Home Depot. Lowes had some white powdery stuff maybe it was fungus or something??? but just threw the whole bag away and now I tried Expert Garden ones and surprisingly it's really rich soil and survived our winter snap to now

This is basically topsoil, completely devoid of nutrients. Lost a few plants. Bought soil pre-sale about 2 weeks ago.
