They look like Laurels. They look like they have been diseases for some time, as well. By this time, there will be no cure for an infection that far along.

It will be time to look into replacing those.

Yes, and overwatering, likely. Turf will keep water from evaporating, so it will be necessary to make sure that you test the soil under before watering, although watering at all should not be necessary.
