Ground prep for fruit trees?

Adding fruit trees to the garden in the spring, two cherries and a peach. The cherries will be bare root, the peach will be larger and more mature.

I’ve planted many trees and shrubs but this will be my first time getting fruit trees started with the intention of harvesting the fruit, as opposed to planting something like a chokecherry for the wildlife value and just letting it be. The existing soil in my yard is rather dense and not incredibly fertile clay, but I have beds that have been cultivated/mulched/enriched over a few years and I imagine would be better suited to supporting something like a fruit tree.

Is there anything extra or special anyone likes to do, to make sure the trees get their best possible start, beyond the obvious things like regular watering and protecting against browsing mammals?
