Sounds like a drainage problem, not stability.

If you have good drainage, its probably a surface clay soil that's easily
water saturated. Or a really high water table. Or both.

Can't provide a suggestion unless I know what's broke.

My lawn, if you could call it that, is really muddy and walking on it
just mashes the grass into the dirt. I have been told that adding some
sand to my soil may help to firm it all up. Any comments on this will
be appreciated as will any suggestions to the types of sand I should
look at.
