please help, my garden is hell

[f1nut]

hi all, hope you dont mind me posting, would love some advice from anyone realy who would have any ideas.
have just moved to a new home, have a tiny garden which has some paving but rest is just mud on 2 levels, we have an 8ft trampoline which takes up the bottem level with not much room left and well to be honest havnt a clue wot to do, tried putting bark down but it was a proper mess and because we have a dog even though we are good at tidying up any mess he made (poop) it was hard to distinguish between poop and bark, lol. thought of putting down grass seed but the mud is quite clay plus have i left it to late for seed to grow?.
im at a total loss as wot to do, i need to get it done asap as kids want out to play, its realy depressing me.
please please any advice, help would be greatly appriciated xxxx

Could the trampoline go on the paving?

Which way does it face? Do you get much sun?

[f1nut]

south facing, get alot of sun. the only place the trampoline would go is at bottem, paving not wide enough, was gonna get rid of it but kids where in tears as they love the damn thing, brought it b4 we moved here last year, when we got it we had a 100ft garden so there was lots of room.
