So my mother helped me plant some very small spires and juniper today. I had a great pine soil conditioner- topsoil mix I was using as the ground - soil was quite gravel like-
She didn’t amend soil- I poked around tonight and am so sad.
Do you think tomorrow I can lift and am end soil? We are having our first frost tonight- zone 6….
Please advise…. Thank you! .

These days many experts say that you should not amend the soil for shrubs. You can see the reason at the following link. So your mother probably was right!
