Default Poor soil (dirt) quality

I moved into a new house which was built on old farm land. The dirt is
pretty crappy. Hard and clay like. The builder seeded the lot with
tall fescue which managed to grow ok. The lawn still looks a pale green
to yellow in areas. Any suggestion on how to build up the soil quality
in my yard? I've heard one suggestion of having top soil brought in.
How pricey would that be?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks


Geez - on old farm land - there has to be some decent top soil pretty
close by.

Unless its been farmed to shit!
