We have six River Birches in two clumps. They are surrounded by ground cover.
They shed yellow leaves all summer. Are they not getting enough water?

Sounds like it might be Iron chlorosis wich is caused by soil that is too alkaline. Have you ever done a pH test on the soil? Check out this USDA publication on growing birch trees.
