Starting November 3, Ruppert crew will be scheduled in Countryhouse on Mondays and Tuesdays instead of later in the week. Due to the loss of out of country employees who have to return home at the end of the season, the remaining crew members have to be reorganized to cover the same number of communities.

They will be in Countryhouse Monday 11/3 and Tuesday 11/4.

Any bagged items and other debris need to be put out by Monday morning.

Due to the rainy weather, the Ruppert crew will be in Countryhouse Thursday 10/30 and Friday 10/31. They will be facing a lot of wet leaves as they perform their routine maintenance work!

Aeration and over seeding, for yards where it will be viable, is coming next and the shrub replacement proposal is in the works.

We will keep you informed once we have a concrete schedule for them.

Landscaping Update 10/20-10/24
This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse Wednesday 10/22-Friday 10/24. They will be doing their regular maintenance work of mowing, blowing, and picking up debris. The Landscaping Committee has finished its survey of all the closes and we’re now compiling a list of replacement shrubs to be planted.
Last week I mentioned that the Tree Committee is also walking our properties checking for trees that need pruning or removal. As they go around they are marking some of the trees with either red or white tape or red and white tape. Red tape indicates removal, white indicates pruning, and both red and white tapes mark a tree that needs evaluation by a professional.

This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse only two days, Thursday 10/16 and Friday 10/17. They will be doing their usual routine maintenance work. Trimming/pruning will be scheduled in the next few weeks.

Landscaping Update 10/06-10/10
This week Ruppert will be following their regular schedule in Countryhouse-Wednesday 10/08-Friday 10/10. They will be performing their usual maintenance work of mowing, blowing and picking up debris.

Many of you have pointed out shaggy shrubs in your yards and we want to let you know they will be doing the second round of pruning/trimming soon. This week they are starting the trimming in Weathersfield and, once finished there, they will be moving on to us. 

Finally, this month both the landscaping and tree committees are doing surveys of all Countryhouse properties. So do not be surprised if you see us walking around your homes assessing trees and shrubs. You’re welcome to come out and say “hi”.

Despite this week’s rain, our Ruppert crew will follow their normal Countryhouse schedule. They will be here Wednesday 10/01-Friday 10/03 performing their regular maintenance work. We are waiting to hear if the second round of mulch work was completed-we will let you know when we do.

Dear Neighbors,

With review by the Board and Countryhouse Committees, the Communications Committee has collected and edited requested changes to the Homeowner’s Guide (HOG) received to date. We are very grateful to all who provided input, and to our reviewers and editor for their time and work. The Board has reviewed the latest updates for best practice and alignment with governing documents, and we are sending them to the community at large for additional suggestions.

We will collect your comments over the next two weeks and then do a final review and edit. 

With final board approval, our plan is to print a hardcopy of the HOG for every resident. 

Here is the proposed draft for your review and input

Please send your questions and suggestions to editor Suzwhite@yahoo.com by October 3rd, and she will collect for board review and final updates.

Kind regards,
Your CSG Board of Directors
