That all sounds correct but here's what i would add.
Instead of re planting try to use well rotted manure dug into the hole. This will not only act as a good source of feed it will help retain any moisture in the summer.
I would also think about tie/stake the conifers
Last but most importent water them well in, and keep them well watered all summer.
Forgot to add is the new position ok for them not sure what variety of conifer they are but a lot are prone to wind burn.
Hope this helps

Instead of feed, I would add rootgrow, which is a miccorhrizul fungi which helps the roots expand better so they can find water better.
I wouldn't add feed either - let the trees get used to their new environment gently; a burst of growth after they've suffered the trauma of transplanting wont do them any good. If they look hungry this time next year, feed them then.
Just brief the garden owner to keep them watered in any dry spells - with the mantra " a weekly soak is better than a daily dribble" and leave it at that.
