Soil compaction

I am starting a rural garden on an acre site which had heavy machinery compacting some of the soil while the house was being built. Parts of the grassed area shows where the compaction is worst. Will this ease with time? Our soil is clay.

improving soil texture

How can I improve the soil in my garden? It is dry and lumpy and seems to flood easily. When I dig into it, it doesn't crumble. When I water the plants it seems to take time to drain.
