This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse Wednesday 6/25 and Thursday 6/26, but will be working shorter hours due to the extreme heat. They will perform their regular maintenance duties and do as much trimming as time allows. Many of you have questioned the trimming schedule, but there have been many weather setbacks this spring which have adversely affected the work timeline. Ultimately every yard will be touched-hopefully soon.

Each year, half of the Countryhouse Closes’ townhomes and garages are pressure washed. This year pressure washing will be done in the Baneberry, Lyndfield, Brampton, Wintercrest East, Wintercrest West and Crossvine closes. Southern Outdoor Restoration plans to start the pressure washing project on June 23.  The HOA is responsible for pressure washing the buildings and the garages. If you would like anything else pressure washed at your expense, please contact Southern Outdoor Restoration at 919-366-7474.

Important Notice from Vendor: Preparing for Pressure Washing
Please help us ensure the best wash result possible by temporarily removing ALL potted plants, grills, cloth furniture, electronics, and breakable décor on your porches, balconies, and patios prior to your service date. We ask that you keep your windows and doors securely closed. If you have a locking gate, please ensure it is unlocked on your service date or we may not be able to fully access your unit. Please park your vehicle about 8-10ft away from your home to avoid any overspray or splatter.

Day 1 – Wintercrest West
Day 2 – Crossvine Close
Day 3 – Wintercrest East
Day 4 – Brampton Close
Day 5 – Lyndfield Close
Day 6 – Baneberry Close
