  • Landscaping Update: 6/25-6/26

    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.

  • Pressure Washing: Townhomes and Garages

    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.

    Order for pressure washing:
    Day 1 – Wintercrest West
    Day 2 – Crossvine Close
    Day 3 – Wintercrest East
    Day 4 – Brampton Close
    Day 5 – Lyndfield Close
    Day 6 – Baneberry Close
    Day 7 & 8 – Add-ons for Residents

    If you have any questions about the project, please contact Mill House Properties at 919-448-5150 or hoa@millhouseproperties.com.
    Thank you! Annetta Jones Hoggard

    If you would like your deck or walkway pressure washed, please contact Savannah Woodcock at swoodcock@southernoutdoorrestoration.com. You will be responsible for paying Southern Outdoor Restoration directly for any additional services not covered by the HOA.

  • Termite Inspections

    Pest & Termite Consultants will be conducting annual termite inspections on Thursday, May 22nd, from 8 am until 4 pm. This inspection is necessary to ensure that we eradicate and minimize the destructive nature of these pests.

  • Landscaping update, 5/5/2025–5/9/2025

    Ruppert will be following their new schedule and plan to be here Wednesday, 5/7, through Friday, 5/9, weather permitting. In preparation for applying mulch, they will be spraying planted beds to eliminate weeds and placing flags in the close entrances as they go. This is a necessary step to ensure the success of the mulching process. During the month of May, there will be no other spraying done, but walkway spraying will resume in June.

  • Landscaping update, 4/28/2025–5/02/2025

    This week the landscaping crew will be in Countryhouse Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There will be no spraying this week.

    On Friday several HOA board members and the landscaping committee will be meeting with Ruppert to discuss residents’ concerns about spraying herbicides and pesticides. Once an educated decision has been reached we will inform you of the new spraying schedule.

  • Landscaping update, 4/21/2025–4/25/2025

    Ruppert has changed the landscaping crew’s schedule for Countryhouse. Starting this week, 4/12-4/25, they will begin working a Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday schedule. Also, this is an off week for any spraying so you can safely walk your dogs without worry.
