Japanese maple - acer palmatum

Question
I just had the front yard regraded and landscaped. I had the Japanese maple move to a better location, onto a mound. Do I need to do anything special to it, if so what?

Answer
After the move there is not much that can be done assuming the transplant was done properly. If you have not done it mulch around the tree with not more than 3 inches of mulch and water. Make sure you water though out the winter--even though the leaves are off the tree the root system is growing and needs water.
