You might want to get rid of grass to stop competition for water

I second this. Put a doughnut shape of brown cardboard (or don't, no big deal) around the stem, and cover with mushroom compost, seaweed, or aged manure, or at the very least aged woodchip or leaf mold. Take care not to pile the mulch up against the stem. 

Great job, good to see. Best of luck with it.

I would say that with the size of rootball, the very rapid move and the aftercare you are planning to give it, it stands as much chance of success as you could hope for. I would also suggest a mulch around the root area to help avoid competition with weeds and hold the water in whilst it is re-establishing. Some rotted bark or chip would be my choice.
