brown patches on laurel leaves

Hi, I've just planted 4 laurel bushes about 10 days ago, they are about 4ft high. One has developed brown patches on the leaves, some of the younger stems are also wilting, am I watering it too much? I've watered them all every day, giving them about 5 litres each, they're well protected against a south facing fence so are getting lots of sun and heat at the moment.  The others seem to be doing fine. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    I wouldn't water as often as that. I'd do a big water in the leave to dry out a bit, then another big one.

    Hi, I think they were getting waterlogged so I've taken your advice nutcutlet and stopped watering them for the last 2 days. One of the others has had a couple of leaves turn yellow so I've probably been overdoing it with the hosepipe. Anyway they seem OK, certainly no worse. Thanks for your reply.Pam
