Changing the composition of the soil?

Hey guys, I had a regional manager call me today to get some grass growing in about a 30x30' area of one of her condo complexes. Its kind of tricky, I need to get a good look at it again. From what I remember though it is a pretty shady area between two buildings and large pines on the third side which blocks the sun nearly all day.

From what I remember its a clay type of soil. I need to really make it look nice, because they are giving us all the "out of contract" work for now, and trying to get rid of the current LCO taking care of the property.

I was thinking of a light tilling, or a heavy aeration of the area (I think its pretty compacted) and bringing in a few yards of mushroom soil to till in/fill aeration holes and then laying down some seed. They know now is not the optimal time to overseed, but they need some grass there regardless.

Any ideas? I'm going to poke around to see if I have any pics of the area, but I don't believe I do.

Thanks ahead!
