I would love some advice on how to solve the soil problem, thank you

Hi, we had a similar thing,when we moved here.
Except our garden was full of sheds,slabs, (on which the sheds were) and a concrete path.
I dug out a border,we too are on a slope,but I stopped worrying about that,and tried to flatten it as much as possible,so at least its a flat slope.
I add compost,every so often,but its still very stoney,when I dig.
I plant harder plants,that wont be too demanding,and the grass is more weeds than anything...but its green! i will do the lawn properly,when I can afford to seed it.
