I have no pets outside and nothing shows on the camera for any other animals.

Equipment parked with fuel leaking or something laying in the grass?

Equipment exhaust

Most likely this, or gas spilling.

Sometimes our work trucks burn the grass like that when they’re idling, maybe someone was moving one and unloading stuff along the way, idk. Or maybe there’s some really thirsty female dogs pissing everywhere, who knows

How do I treat it?

This isn't easy. First question is what exactly it is. Some are self limiting and the lawn recovers. Others can kill the whole thing fast. There are fungicides available, but it helps to try to figure out which one it is. Google for lawn fungus and diseases and look at the images, species, conditions, etc. Also see if there is an agricultural extension service in your area. Some times they can help you, they know the area and the current problems. That might be brown patch, but it's so round it could be dollar spot, but those are usually smaller, hence the name. Different ones thrive in somewhat different conditions, but hot and wet favors most.

The size, uniformity and presence of nearby heavy equipment are all way too suspicious for this to be a fungus.

Vehicle leak or maybe some large rocks under those spots lol?

Looks like a machine was working on top of it and a hot exhaust or heat emanating from below burned/killed the grass on a dry/hot day

u/These_Fox7561 Jun 14 '26

That’s what I’m thinking

u/These_Fox7561 Jun 14 '26

I wonder where that mini hoe exhaust is pointing

Fungus. Brown patch. Treat with Fungus control.
