St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

Weston, West Virginia

After hearing concerns about the condition of the landscaping around the church, Father John of St. Paul’s asked us to take a look and make recommendations for freshening things up a bit.

Site Assessment

We started by completing a site assessment. We tested the soil, evaluated growing conditions, and mapped the existing plants. Our assessment found that the site had pretty good growing conditions, for the most part, but that several of the trees and shrubs had become very overgrown.

Recommendations

We made several recommendations for cleaning up the site. These including removing some trees and shrubs that had become overgrown and replacing them with varieties better suited for the location. In addition, we recommended giving the remaining trees and shrubs a good pruning, thoroughly weeding and mulching the planting beds, and amending the soil to fix a potassium deficiency that was keeping the church’s beautiful rhododendron from blooming.
