Abstract: A single plant which comprises a differential altitude and distributed root system; a foliage system; and at least one stem connecting between said root system and said foliage system. Methods of making same. Living facade including same.

Abstract: A free standing vegetated sound attenuating structure is formed by placing multiple layers of rows of concrete stretchers on a level surface with concrete headers extending transversely thereto to form a rectilinear structure with substantially vertical sides, in which soil can be placed within the void formed by the headers and stretchers. The vegetated sound attenuating structure is positioned in a vertical array upwardly from the level surface so that both sides of the vegetated sound attenuating structure are visible. Exposed areas of soil visible between successive layers of concrete stretchers have suitable sound attenuating vegetation growing therefrom. Irrigation means, which may be powered by solar panels, provides moisture for the growing of the sound attenuating vegetation. Seed containing tiles, panels or fabric may be used in contact with the soil to promote growth of vegetation.

Abstract: An exterior screen for safety, security, soundproofing and/or aesthetic purposes. Substantial amount of costs and time is apportioned to the installation, permanency and maintenance of conventional screens. An impact driven sprung anchor point, allows the exterior screen to pivot back and forth when forced. The production of the exterior screen would utilise modular construction from non-corrosive materials reducing damage and replacement. The option of using the pre-drilled locating holes within the paneling structure allows attachments for safety, security, soundproofing and aesthetics to be interchangeable.

Abstract: A modular protection device for underpinning for protecting underpinning from lawn care equipment includes an elongated trough having a first end and a second end. The first and second ends are open. The elongated trough includes a bottom wall, a front wall and a back wall each extending between the first and second ends. The trough has an open top side and defines a channel for selectively receiving a bottom edge of the mobile home underpinning. A foot is attached to and extends outwardly from the front wall. A plurality of troughs is provided. A coupler assembly for selectively couples a pair of the troughs together.

Abstract: A device for stabilizing a plurality of spaced posts comprising an outer frame member; a plurality of bracket assemblies mounted to the outer frame member at a first set of spaced locations thereon to receive the posts; and a plurality of bracing members extending between a second set of spaced locations on the outer frame member, intermediately of the first spaced locations, for stabilizing the outer frame member.

Abstract: A fence made of foaming agent is disclosed. A bottom of the fence has at least one inserting portion, and the inserting portion is inserted to a seat. The seat is inserted to an inserting hole for being inserted by the inserting portion.

Abstract: A slope guard device having one or more panels formed of impervious material, interlocking along their periphery to form a rigid annular unit capable of encircling a planted area on a slope. The panels define an inner side adjacent to roots, and an outer side remote from roots, said panels of varying heights to allow a user to customize a slope profile to a slope where taller panels support the slope above the planted area. Vanes extend from the panels and project inwardly from the inner side of the panels. The vanes direct root growth. Vents are attachable to some of the vanes each having an open upper end and open lower end, said vents providing additional structural support for the slope guard. The vents guide steel stakes that can be driven into the ground.

Abstract: The invention relates to cultivation of a rose plant in a greenhouse and the like which is capable of growing a rose so that an object twig with a flower can be cut in about a waist-high position, and picking cut flowers with long stems and of a high quality. In the invention, initially grown twigs are bent in the vicinity of the plant foot and kept prostrated, and basal shoots coming out from the position near said foot are grown into twigs. Then, the twigs with flowers are cut off at the base portion thereof to obtain the initial cut flowers.

Abstract: A free-standing, self-supporting baby gate consisting of: a gateframe composed of two posts adapted to rest on opposite ends of a top stair and connected by a horizontal beam at the level of the horizontal plane of the top of the stairway; a flat, rigid mat, hinged to the beam connecting the two gateposts and adapted to rest on the floor at the top of the gateframe; a barrier which is hinged to one of the posts and latches to the other and; braces which are pivotally attached to each post and which rotate toward and lock against the mat.

Abstract: An assembly of a hedge-like element and a chain link fence is formed of a multitude of densely packed, relatively stiff leaf-like filaments are carried in elongated support to extend therefrom in a planar brush-like array. When a plurality of the camouflage elements are inserted in openings of the fence, the fence resembles a bush or hedge.
