Nice work! They look very thirsty though
Could also be the stress from moving and pruning. They'll probably look better after a day or two with their regular watering routine
OP is in SoCal, so perhaps water restrictions and/or just a deeply dry climate making it hard to keep plants from getting a lil thirsty.
Yep, it's pretty darn dry where I'm at. The drip irrigation I use doesn't fall under our current water restrictions, but I still try to not use excessive amounts. I also mulch everywhere and add increasing layers as the weather heats up.
This is my soil from when I was weeding yesterday, plenty moist and look at all those worms!
