Top soil is the holy grail of any experienced gardener. It retains water, yet drains freely, holds nutrients, allows for rapid growth of new roots, lets oxygen permeate the rooting zone and holds colonies of beneficial microbes. But when this soil is handled and transported the structure and porosity collapses and it looses these beneficial characteristics. You will see bags of top soil for sale and you can buy large truck loads of soil delivered to your property but it will have lost many of its life giving traits as it inevitably becomes compacted back fill.

To make your own top soil, remove and avoid compaction, add organic matter and never use a tiller.
