Diseased Plants/Trees in my yard-help

[rooster222]

I don't know how to identify what is wrong but on the east side of my yard, there seems to be a disease. Everything starts out nicely in the spring but before fall things will start to dry out and drop leaves, despite care/watering. I have neighbors with some of the same plants that thrive so I know it's not a dry year situation or something.

Two of my trees, burning bush and 2 other shrubs (unidentified) along with day lilies seem affected. I thought the unidentified shrubs were dead but we mulched in the fall and the landscaper said they are living. The woody parts are turning gray/brittle looking. Any ideas what this could be? I know I can pay someone to come look but I'd like to identify it myself if I can so I can research treatments.

Thanks for any help or direction!

Not enough information. Where are you located (zone)? Has any work been done on your property or adjacent properties? What chemicals do you/neighbors use? Images would help, both close-up images of the symptoms and long view of the affected areas, capturing adjacent properties as applicable.
