    The bloom times of azaleas varies quite a bit, depending on the variety and on the weather. Most bloom in April and May, and most of the blooms appear all at once and last about two weeks.

    I don't know what could have happened to your azaleas, but something apparently has. I would start by discussing this with the landscape co. Also, take some samples of soil, roots, branches, and any dead leaves if you can find them, to the County Extension Service for analysis.

    If the landscape service is responsible, they should be glad to make right any damage they did. If you feel they are responsible and they won't admit to it, you should consult with a lawyer.

    I'm sorry your Azaleas are suffering! If the only thing that's changed is the service you used to fertilize them, it would seem that's the culprit, but this article also gives you a couple of things to check to see if you have a pest problem, a type of leaf fungus or root rot: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/azalea/no-leaves-on-azalea.htm

    Flower drop could be due to the natural aging of the flowers. Encore will bloom early spring, then set buds again, and then bloom once again in the fall.
    A drought or roots that are dried out can also cause the flowers to drop.
    Check the moisture level in the soil.

    A balanced granular fertilizer is recommend. Check the numbers on the fertilizer that you used. The numbers should all be the same.
    Make sure the spectraside you used specifically says you can use on Azaleas. Is there a reason you sprayed your plants?
    Unless you specifically have a pest issue, applications of a chemical spectracide is not needed.
