    I had a couple of my Beeches do that this year as well, browning leaves etc.
    I think it could possibly have been some kind of fungal infection because of all the wet weather.
    They seem to have just died off completely now but I will leave them until next year to see if they come back.
    Your ground looks dry alright, maybe you should put some kind of mulch/manure on the beds to help retain moisture.
    Compost or rotted manure will also help the trees along.
