The roots on these tend to be fairly shallow. Wait for a good dose of rain, then ease them out with a small fork or trowel.

They are much easier to remove than dandelions

Thanks. Once I've raked and pulled out as much as I can is it ok to throw down topsoil and grass seed again or am I risking just letting the buttercup come back?

Wait with that until early September. Throw some Aftercut All In One lawn feed from Westland now. It will help with the buttercups.
