    Maybe treating the underlying cause for the moss and buttercups growing would be the best starting point. The soil is obviously holding a lot of water and possibly shaded? My recommendation would be to scarify the lawn 1st then aerate thoroughly using either a mechanical scarifier or even a garden fork.
    Proper drainage and aeration is vital to the growth of healthy grass. Chemical wise there are vast amounts of combined moss/weed killers on the market but without treating the problem chemicals will only work temporarily. Hope this helps

    Dicophar certainly is your weapon for creeping buttercup. Was very effective for me. Will need to reseed your lawn afterwards if there are bare patches.
