Leylandii planted in deep gravel

Hi everyone, a few months back I got a number of 6ft leylandii planted to form a privacy hedge.
When the gardner started to plant them he found it was deep gravel at the bottom of my garden, at least as deep as the root ball. We went ahead anyway and he put some bone meal in below the trees.
They look to have turned a little yellow/brown at the branches near the top, although I must admit I hadn’t been watering them regularly.
Does anyone have any advice? Do I just water regularly and hope they establish, or could I dig back the stones and put more compost in to help them?
Worried they won’t establish and they were expensive.
Thanks for any advice.
