  • Landscaping Update: 7/23-7/25

    This week the Ruppert crew will be in Countryhouse Wednesday 7/23-Friday 7/25.

    Weather permitting, they will be spraying weeds in preparation for mulch application as well as doing their regular maintenance work. They will be placing flags at the entrance of each close as they do the spraying.

    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!

  • 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.
