The landscaping company I work with, Bramer Brothers, has this seasonal tip:

Cold weather is approaching fast. Most of us think we are done with the yard work. For those newly installed plants, we can’t forget about watering. The first year of care on newly installed plants is critical. Check the ground around your plants. If it is dry 2 inches below the surface, they need water. Just remember to water thoroughly versus shallow and often. Also, stop watering when temperatures are below freezing.
