I'll list a few here, and attempt to explain about them on various pages of this website.
Unless you do your settling of your loose dirt with plenty of water, I wouldn't suggest you put in your landscaping immediately.
We were anxious to have our home completed with lawn and landscaping in the front and it cost us dearly for that decision. Our laterals sub hadn't settled the dirt in those laterals, and so 6 months down the road, we had some major settling that took place. Our raised flower beds were compromised because the dirt had not been properly settled after the backfilling had been done. As a result, we had major flooding due to an irrigation line breaking where it came out of the house to feed the main line. Once the pipe sheered off, we had full water pressure running all along our house. You can read more detail on this HERE...The porch was sinking. Suffice it to say, we rushed the process a bit, and will be more cautious another time in doing our general landscaping.
Ultimately, it is you, the general contractors' responsibility, to see to it that the ground is properly dealt with. We share our embarrassing experiences with you so you, hopefully, won't have similar ones of your own.
