Recently planted 7-8' Green Giants

[Chigala]

I had multiple 7-8' green giants planted 3 weeks ago. A few of them have some die off on some branches and browning in spots on the leaves/needles (pics below). I have upped their watering as a result. Is this normal new planting stress that will abate or cause for concern? Some of the trees have no browning whatsoever, so it makes me think it is not normal. I'm worried that I'm already losing them??

 

Will they bounce back with adequate watering? Is there something else I should be doing to help them?

 

Thank you in advance for all help!

It isn’t answering your question I know but is ‘green giants’ what you call leylandii trees on your side of the pond?

Being I’m a few thousand miles away my advice would be to up your watering two or three really good soaks each week, maybe a little feed and wait and see 

these have been taken out of a nice comfortable nursery and put in your hot dry windy yard,give them time and water.
