Thank you for submitting this issue. After speaking with the Public Works Director, the contractors watered the trees on 8.21.23 and have developed a plan to address the watering.
The trees were not watered yesterday, which was 8.21.23. A neighbor was out there checking and they never got watered. The trees are dying in the heat. Don't ruin the one nice thing that's been done for our neighborhood in a long time! Water every day!
On second look, they may have planted the trees too deep. There is a little flair at the base where the roots start, and that should be above ground. without an exposed flair, the tree will never thrive. It looks like these are oaks. The image below shows a tree planted too deep, then the dirt was cleared to expose the flair. On second look, they may have planted the trees too deep.

You have to CAREFULLY AS IF YOU’RE WORKING WITH A LIVING THING remove the dirt from around the trunk to expose the flair. GOOGLE to learn how it’s done properly. See photo
