looks like discula anthracnose on the dogwood. Hard to say on the Oak. Soil is important, but for the dogwood, trying to reduce the disease infection would be the main thing. A little late this year to do anything about it, but look to having the dogwood treated next early spring. If you do have soil amendments done, be sure that nitrogen is kept to a minimum, as it stimulates succulent growth, which is the main entry point for the disease.
