We moved into a new construction house about a month ago, and now

causing this or who to contact somewhere like NC state or the dept.
of
agriculture to find out?

Compacted roots from all of the construction equipment ?

Another possibility is that they broke the tap root when they moved
it. I think the tap root is supposed to be as deep as the tree is
tall. Breaking it may prevent the tree from supporting the top of the
tree. Are the leaves dying at the top?
