Default Removing small roots from lawn

I'm transplanting some grass from healthy areas of my lawn that I'm
trimming back, to thin areas in several spots. The grass is thin and not
really growing probably due to rocky soil (heavy gravel left there from
preconstruction) and also probably due to shallow roots from some pines.
If I'm cutting up small areas (several feet square in several places) how
do I best cut out these roots? They are 1/4" to maybe 3/4" in size.
Tried a tree pruning saw but it curves the wrong way. Other saws, or
something else altogether?

Why bother transplanting bad turf? Where do you live?
