Maybe the aliens came.. like parks maintenance guys and fertilized the tree... in that ring.
Not sure.. looks like different nutrients...
Maybe someone “moat-fed” the tree??

Is the grass ITSELF, different grass... or different moss than the surrounding?

If it's mowed and dude does it the same every time, it might be the continuous pattern of thrown clippings that fertilize it better there.

He is bound and determined to tell me that the tree is the epicenter of the ring.
He says that the leach field is 30 feet away from the septic tank service port....he's adamant.

Only thing I can think of is it's a fairy ring. I don't know enough about them to say whether it's related to the tree or not - but fairy rings are due to a fungus.

It is probably the largest fairy ring I have seen. I have seen about a dozen.

Looks like a drip line to me.

Edit: from the foliage, not irrigation.

If it was a ring of faded grass amid greenery, it would make sense but not sure on the inverse here.
