Improve drainage for newly planted tree

Winsome Cunningham asked 8 years ago

I planted a small Acer earlier this year but had to lift as leaves were curling and falling off. Slow drainage in area planted and clay soil. Small garden and nowhere else to plant. To improve drainage could I dig a large hole (with digger), fill with stones, then topsoil? Area is beside a wall with main road on the other side. Will water drain under road hardcore?
