Need some advice on tree damage

I was told by a landscaper that my sprinkler was causing this damage. Could it be that or is it damage from the installation (it fell a few times)? It looked fine when it was planted 3 weeks ago. Tree is a blue spruce.

It fell after it was planted?
No it fell to the side before being planted, they used a forklift to put it in the hole.
I don't think the fall did anything.
Grass that green is watered everyday, so I'm guessing your tree is always moist. Can't have that. Moisture will kill most anything that wasn't evolved to live in it.
Cut back on the water and consider replacing your desert with clover.
Yes this makes sense. In your opinion can this tree recover from the damage? The rest of it and on the other side looks healthy. I’m a dummy when it comes to this stuff, thank you.
I don't know much about pines tbh, but if there is green on a plant it's alive and can probably bounce back.
Assuming it's just a moisture issue, you'll know pretty quickly.
