Go out and spade up a few shovels of dirt....is it heavy clay or loose crumbly sand? You can put in extra sand if it's gumbo clay or till in a whole bunch of organic matter if it's too sandy. Your local county agent has soil test kits so you can find out if it's acid or alkaline or deficient in something.

It is mostly clay. I'm in Birmingham, and most of my yard a few inches down from the top is pretty thick. I've gotten real familiar with my shovel from a lot of landscaping work last summer, but this particular part of the yard has some dirt as well.
