Drainage Project Work
2025-12-15 00:00 - 2025-12-19 23:59 (America/New_York) | Countryhouse
The first phase of our drainage project will begin on or shortly after December 15, weather dependent. The first phase includes installing new drainage pipes behind homes in Crossvine and Wintercrest East which will drain under the berm and along the drainage ditch at Lassiter Lane. The old drainage pipes will be abandoned. Care will be taken to protect the impacted trees as digging progresses.
This phase 1 work will take 5-10 days to complete. Construction debris will be removed. Topsoil and grass seed will be applied on top of the new pipes.
Phase 2 will begin as budget money is available. Our plan is to work Close by Close addressing issues identified last spring by North Carolina Drainage. Please see the master drainage spreadsheet available on the Countryhouse website for more details on future Close projects.
The drainage committee appreciates the patience of Countryhouse residents who have been waiting for their drainage issues to be fixed.
The committee also thanks Michelle and Mill House for their quick turnaround, follow-up and support. Please contact Mill House Properties at hoa@millhouseproperties.com with any questions.
Thank you,
Your Countryhouse Drainage Committee

Last week’s schedule did not work out as planned, but the new shrubs were planted throughout Countryhouse and have received one round of watering.
This week Ruppert will be coming Monday and Tuesday to do their regular maintenance work. I know that a lot of you are asking about shrub trimming and it will be done when they finish up the work in Weathersfield, hopefully soon.

Landscaping Change: Monday-Tuesday, 11/3-11/4

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.

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.

So if your yard has not yet been touched or not completed, it will be happening as soon as the material is available.

At the same time the Ruppert manager will be going to several of the closes to spray paint areas that will be receiving either mulch or pine straw. This will serve as a guide for the crew who will be doing the application. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates!
