Viburnum Suspected for Fuzzy Tennessee Shrubs

New homeowner near Chattanooga, TN has fuzzy, gray-green/yellow-green shrubs with oval asymmetrical leaves, reddish-brown spots, planted January, no blooms yet. Needs pruning advice.

Expert Guess: If leaves are opposite, likely a Viburnum (hundreds of species). Check landscaper's plan/supply list. Prune most shrubs anytime, but avoid cutting next year's flower buds or pruning too late in fall (new growth may freeze).
