Lilac trouble?

thistlebloom,

I'm unsure of the soil in the yard. I've never tested it. They are planted in a lawn, but I have one of those rubber mat type things(unsure of its name) around it to keep the grass away. I have been watering quite a bit because of the heat here, but lately it hasn't been too hot so I haven't watered as much. I haven't been using any fertilizer either. I've been considering sprayed the plants with dog&cat begone to try to keep my great dane from peeing on them. I don't really fertilize any of my plants besides for my garden and even its fertilizer is just horse turds from the pasture.
