Abstract: An expandable tree bag assembly (100) for use with both conifer and deciduous trees includes an extended ovular shaped face (101) having a long curved edge (103) and short curved edge (105). Side edges (109, 113) operate using a zippered closing mechanism allowing an expansion panel (201) to be attached for increasing the circumference of the ovular shaped face (101). The face includes a carrier aperture positioned alone the long curved edge (103) for allowing the tree carrier to extend therethrough.

Abstract: A tilt dolly (200) for use in transporting landscaping materials includes a substantially square frame (201, 203, 211, 213, 217, 219) having a first end and a second end. A first set of wheels (301, 303) and second set of wheels (305, 307) are attached at predetermined positions on the substantially square frame such that the center of gravity of the tilt dolly is in a substantially forward direction toward the first end enabling the tilt dolly (300, 400) to be easily tilted in a reverse direction. A tilt rail assembly (205, 210) is fastened to the frame at a predetermined angle on the second end for allowing the square frame to be tilted enabling it to tilt in a semi-tilted and fully tilted position for preventing stress and wind damage when transporting trees at highway speeds.

Abstract: A transportation trailer (100) includes a trailer bed (103), a gate (119), lifting mechanism (111, 113) and tower support structures (107, 109). The tower support structure (107, 109) is used to support the lifting mechanism for moving the gate (119) between an open and closed positions where the gate (119) may be raised above, below, or in a plane with the bed (103) for allowing vehicles or other heavy equipment to be easily stowed on the trailer bed (103) with minimal effort.

Abstract: A landscape dolly (200) includes an upper frame (201, 203) and a lower frame (207, 209) attached to the upper frame for supporting the upper frame against a lower surface. The invention utilizes one or more collapsible legs (221, 223) that are positioned on the side of the lower frame for allowing the landscape dolly to move into a tilted position while being transported on a vehicle or with a handle mechanism (500). The handle mechanism (500) is used with removable wheels (300) which allow the dolly to be moved and/or steered into a desired location.

Abstract: A tree root ball wrapping apparatus (100) includes a circular platform (109, 113) for supporting a separable, open-frame, root-containment structure (103, 105, 107) having an inverted conical shape. A group of pivot joints (201, 203, 205, 207) are located at an upper section of the root-containment structure for separating the root-containment structure into half sections. In practice, the group of pivot joints can be opened during tree transplantation for providing removal of a root ball from the wrapping apparatus by opening the sections at the group of pivot joints for easily facilitating removal of the wrapping apparatus (100) from within a transplantation hole.
