Ruppert will be in Countryhouse Tuesday 12/9 to do regular maintenance work. From now until the end of the year they will have limited crews, so we will notify when they plan to come here.

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

This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse Monday 12/1 and Tuesday 12/2. Last week was a short week but they should be back to their regular maintenance work this week.

Since this is a holiday week, Ruppert will be in Countryhouse on Tuesday 11/25 only. They will be doing regular maintenance work and picking up bags and debris.

The Landscaping Committee wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

CTI will start roof and gutter blowing on Monday, January 5, 2026 in the following order:

Wintercrest West
Linden
Weymouth
Sycamore
Lower Beechmast
Upper Beechmast
Baneberry
Lyndfield
Brampton
Wintercrest East
Crossvine

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.

This week Ruppert’s schedule will be different. They will be in Countryhouse on Thursday 11/13 and Friday 11/14 performing their regular maintenance duties.

Also on Thursday, the planting of the 79 new shrubs is expected to begin. Last week the landscape committee marked the location of every new shrub with stakes and dowels, with the name of the plants on them. We are happy to see all our planning come to fruition.

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.
