unfortunately, your photo did not come through.

If the tree gets rainfall at all, then it will not likely need extra water, depending on the type of Maple that it is. Acer is a very broad genus.

This leads me to believe overwatering to be the case.

Make sure to water, only, once the soil is completely dry down to a depth of about 3 or 4 inches.

I would treat with a fungicide, just in case.
