These trees have been planted for about 6 years and have always been very healthy until now. All of a sudden one tree lost all of its leaves in a period of 2 days and the tree next to it is starting to do the same thing. Some leaves are crunchy and dead and others have turned color and fallen off like it's fall. Our temps have been hot as is typical. Could it somehow be a water or fertilizer issue? These trees are beautiful, please help.

The landscape in the background looks very dry. My guess is stress from not enough water - the trees are dropping leaves to reduce water loss from transpiration.

That could be the case, but they're on a watering system and we're watering them as we always have. What is alarming is that there was very little notice to all of this. It literally happened in a couple of days. It would seem like there would be warning signs of distress prior to the event.
It looks to me, based on the first photo, that the drip system is watering too far inside the drip line. Your trees might appreciate being watered further from the trunks and out a foot or two from the growing leaf and twigs edges.
Also the thick grass growing might be a factor. Perhaps interfering with roots, oxygen, moisture levels?

Excellent suggestions. Thank you!
There is also a tendency for folks setting in new trees to NOT remove the clay from the rootball when planting. The trees will survive for awhile, but eventually die as the roots cannot escape and grow.
Hello there those trees are London plane trees correct-Platanus is susceptible to Anthracnose and while the defoliation seems abrupt that could have been the culprit. I would look in that direction Good luck
