If you add an inch of compost in the early spring or early fall, you will gradually improve your soil - making it more hospitable for desirable grasses.

Wheelbarrows and rakes will be your primary tools.
I wouldn't mess around with grass seed unless you have a bare patch that is bigger than two feet across.
