  • Labor Day Party a Success: Special Thanks

    On behalf of the HOA Board of Directors, thank you to everyone who made the Labor Day Party a success! It was great to see so many of our Countryhouse neighbors. I counted 100+ guests! To everyone who helped with the set up, the clean up, loaned chairs, tables or tent, brought food or just brought yourselves, we are so thankful for you!

    HOA funds covered the purchase of paper goods, hot dogs, brats, buns, and beverages for the event. 

    Special thanks to members of the Hot Dog and Toasted Bun Society (Gretchen Speedy, Eric Sommers, Alvin Kilby) for designing the flyer, providing organization skills, grilling the dogs and brats and so much more!

    It was a special evening enjoyed by all.

    Thanks again,
    Annette Kilby

  • Drainage Repair: Sept. 21-25: Crossvine, Wintercrest West/East

    The next phase of our drainage repair project will begin in the Crossvine, Wintercrest West and Wintercrest East Closes on September 21, 2026, dependent on weather. As you recall, we completed the large Crossvine/ Wintercrest East project last winter. Water is flowing better with little flooding, though we have not experienced another Chantel. Ruppert plans to complete the work by September 25, 2026.

    Please contact Mill House Properties with any questions at hoa@millhouseproperties.com.

    Thank you,
    CH Drainage Committee

  • Landscaping Update: 9/14-9/16

    This week Ruppert will be in Countryhouse Monday 9/14-Wednesday 9/16. They will be doing their regular maintenance work. Next week they will begin the fall trimming routine-light trimming and clearing shrubs and trees off the walls of homes and garages.

    Last week I mistakenly said shrubs need to be cleared two feet off the walls when it is in fact a distance of one foot. I apologize for the misinformation.

  • Landscaping Update 9/7-9/11

    Due to the Labor Day holiday, Ruppert will be in Countryhouse just Tuesday and Wednesday this week. They will be performing their regular maintenance work.

    Starting the week of 9/21 the crew will begin the fall trimming. They will be shearing shrubs and making sure that they are two feet off the walls of homes and garages. They will also clear shrubs away from decks and steps, including those in the back of homes, where we have noticed a lot of overgrowth. This work may require them to access decks in order to reach higher areas, so please be prepared for this possibility. To avoid this you may trim the shrubs yourself,  and residents on the No Prune list need to make sure their plants are in compliance with the two foot rule as well. Later on this year the crew will begin pruning shrubs and trees that need it.
