Going on vacation with new garden
I would it a big mistake if someone went away on vacation for 7 days after they planted a new front garden and didn't have it watered by someone? Would those days gone be a disaster without water or would it be doable?

But in general, newly planted stuff is way more fragile than it will be once well established. Check the weather forecast. If it will be cloudy a lot and get some rain while you are gone, it will probably be fine. Hot and dry would absolutely kill all your new planting in a week. It's a lot easier to pay some one to water a couple times than to lose all your hard work.
