Ruppert Landscape will begin its fall and winter routine maintenance in WSG starting on the following two dates which is approximately a 10-day schedule. Additional dates will be forthcoming.
November 24, 2021
December 06, 2021
-
- Please mark your calendars and please refrain from putting out brown paper leaf bags or other yard debris until the night before, or the day of, routine maintenance on these dates.
- Ruppert completed aeration and overseeding on the grass on both sides of the Weathersfield road and the right side of Swim and Croquet to the T-junction at Village Way on November 12, 2021. For the grass to germinate over the fall and into the spring, it will be important to observe the following:
Please:
- Do not park vehicles on the grassy edges along these roads
- Notify contractors or other visitors not to park on the grass
It would be greatly appreciated if all residents would be mindful of keeping WSG clean and beautiful over the coming months. Thank you.
Weathersfield Annual Meeting Questions and Responses
As part of the mail-in WSG Annual Meeting process, the WSG Board gave homeowners an opportunity to send in questions/concerns. We thoroughly reviewed them and want to share our
responses with you, using a Q & A format. The document can be found here:
Annual General Meeting Results
The Weathersfield Service Group VI ballots from the mail-in Annual General Meeting have been tabulated separately by Mill House and the Board Secretary. Out of a total of 104 possible votes (one vote per household), 76 were received, exceeding the necessary quorum of 63 (60% of all households as specified in the Covenants, Article IV, Section 5). The results follow.
-
- The three candidates running for the three open Board Director seats also received the most votes: Steve Krasnow (74 votes), Larry Layton (74 votes), David Spencer (76 votes). There was one write-in nomination, but the person named is not interested in board membership. The new slate of directors and officers will take effect on November 6 after a special meeting in which board roles will be determined.
- As required by our Covenants (Article IV, Section 3), a two-thirds majority of those households voting was needed to pass the requested monthly fee increase of $25. Out of 76 votes cast, there were 65 yes votes and 11 no votes for a total of 86% in favor. The measure passes and the fee increase will take effect in January, 2022.
A separate notice on responses to homeowner questions will be sent this week.
Weathersfield Roof Blowing
A crew from CTI will be blowing debris off home and garage roofs beginning on Monday, November 8. Work will start at the Swim & Croquet closes and progress over several days, through the sequence of increasing house numbers, concluding at the 595 and 596 closes.

New Start Date: Aeration and Overseeding
NEW START DATE: Ruppert Landscape will begin aeration and overseeding of all grassy areas on both Common Areas and private property (up to the HVAC) on Thursday, October 21, weather permitting.
Aeration: Compacted soil prohibits three vital elements lawns and grassy areas need (water, nutrients, oxygen) from reaching the root system. Core aeration will allow these elements to penetrate the root zone, improving growing conditions and thereby reducing run off and making fertilizer application more effective.
Overseeding: Turf areas can be supplemented and enhanced by overseeding (broadcast spreading) of lawn and grassy areas with a blend of Tall Fescue and Bluegrass, depending on the type of green that exists.
Termite Inspections This Wednesday
Pest & Termite Consultants will be conducting annual termite inspections on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The inspection is absolutely necessary to ensure that we eradicate and minimize the destructive nature of these pests. Termites can destroy the structural integrity of your home/unit if not detected and properly treated.
The inspector will need access to crawlspaces and interior of garages.
Here is the procedure to get your home inspected:
Inspectors will knock on doors randomly during the inspection period and they will inspect those homes as contact is made with each resident. Inspectors will be wearing a mask.
You may schedule your inspection for a particular time by contacting the on-site inspector and setting a time that is convenient for you. The inspector will be wearing a company uniform (blue trousers and blue shirt with company name of the shirt). Company pickup trucks are also blue with the company name on the driver side door and tailgate.
You may also schedule a specific time on this day by calling Pest & Termite Consultants at 919-870-8003.
Pest & Termite Consultants will perform one other free inspection, which will be announced at a later date.
Please remember to leave crawl spaces and garage doors open if you will not be present for the inspection. The inspection cannot be conducted if they do not have access. We will schedule one more inspection date for the units that are locked during the first inspections. If your unit is locked for both inspections, you will be required to schedule an inspection at your expense. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Johnson at 919-448-5150 or hoa@millhouseproperties.com.
Reminders from the Landscape Committee
Friendly reminders to all homeowners:
- That if garden debris is placed at the entrance to the Close or on the side of the road for pick up by Ruppert Landscaping, it must be in paper BROWN LAWN BAGS, not plastic bags. Ruppert will not pick up any debris in plastic bags.
- Please refrain from placing the leaf bags out prior to Ruppert’s routine maintenance day – Wednesday– especially if the weather forecast is for rain. Either place them out on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Wet paper leaf bags are difficult to pick up since the bottom tends to fall out.
- Please be respectful of the Ruppert crew’s job for us and thank you for your cooperation.
