Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Wilting laurel - Can it be helped?, 1 by pennefeather

I can't remember what type of laurel this shrub is, but it is very common in my area. I just noticed yesterday that it is beginning to wilt in part. All of the wilted areas face away from my property, and toward my neighbor's fence, which is why I probably had not noticed it earlier. Although it has been very dry this summer, it isn't from lack of water. I watered all of my shrubs yesterday. I have several more of the same plants further away that are quite healthy.

This is an overall picture of the affected plants. Right now, two of the four in this grouping are affected.
