That is the best looking part of my yard except it has the circle in it. Part of the year it is dead and the other part it is like this...a different color.
My grandfather always called them stump arcs. He said there used to be a tree there and arc is the result of the roots on that side being closer to the surface. They are still decaying and providing nitrogen to the glass. Always believe your grandfather.

I agree, too, that it makes the most sense. Is the soil depressed in the area of the arc? In other words, is it sinking where the grass is greener?
Any signs of moles or underground animals? My dogs listen for them by putting their ear close to the ground and then start a digging frenzy to catch and kill the "invader". It is one of the funniest things I've ever seen my dogs do.
It almost looks depressed but it is just the difference in the grass thickness. I have moles all over my yard. But this is just in one area of my yard.

Guess it couldn't be some effect of fertilizer could it?

LawnRanger, I need to borrow your dog. I live here in Moleville. He would be very busy here!!! :laughing:
Fairy rings are symptoms of fungus in the soil. They show up as large rings of grass that are darker green than the rest of the lawn. The fungus feeds on decaying matter in the soil, releasing nitrogen that greens the grass. Fairy rings interrupt the manicured look of an evenly green expanse of lawn and indicate a wet and fungal condition that may get out of control. They are commonly accompanied by mushrooms and puffballs, fruit of the fungus, further adding to the odd look of the turf
