What can I do to help my lawn?

Small front garden on a new build estate. The soil is terrible - clay with rubble underneath. Lawn is just about surviving and some of it has lots of clover in it which is in better condition and nice and green. Other half is tatty and goes brown. It has dandelions in which I remove as much as possible. There is some moss around the edges, but dh advises not to kill that or there'll be no lawn left.

I've put bags and bags of potting compost over it and I water it with miracle grow each week and sprinkle with grow more each year.

I can't afford to scrap it and start over. I can't afford to get rid of it and lay gravel or anything like that.

Does anyone have any tips, techniques or products that might help?

I think that some varieties of moss are okay in full sun, Ive never tried cultivating it though.
