Composite lawn edging

InactiveUS6253486B1Contributes to environmentLess forcePlanting bedsEdging using tilesElastomerEngineering
The lawn edging (10) is formed by extruding a thermoplastic resin, preferably a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene containing a dispersion of prevulcanized elastomer granules through a die (62) having a vertical die orifice (64) for forming the wall (12) of the channel (16). The vertical die orifice (64) also contains an element for forming protrusions (20) on a surface of the wall (12). The element preferably forms a horizontal edge on the protrusion (20). The feed rate of the element can be higher than the adjacent sections of the wall (12) such that the extruded material backs up in the die (62) and intermittently feeds through the outlet orifice (64). The channel (16) can contain a lower bead (34) and an upper hollow head member (14) which can be coated with a liquid impervious film (100) and perforated by a laser (120) to form spray apertures (122).

Landscape edging, and methods

The disclosure is directed to landscape edging, such as blocks. Multiple blocks can be assembled to form a border around flower beds, trees, and other landscaping. A first end of the edging block includes a groove or mortise engageable with a second end of a second edging block having a tongue or tenon. The overlapping system inhibits growth of grass or other vegetation between two adjoining blocks. The edging includes a lip on at least one side that may function as a mowing strip or ledge. The block may be straight or curved, thus allowing multiple blocks to be assembled to form various configurations.

Root growth barrier and method

ActiveUS7810275B2Maximizes irrigation efficiencyReducing root zone temperaturePlanting bedsEdging using tilesTrappingRoot branching
A root growth barrier and method for use with transplantable plants is provided. The barrier is a bilayer, comprising an inner layer of a root-tip-trapping material bonded to an outer layer of a root-impenetrable material. The inner layer faces the roots of a plant and serves to trap root tips to promote root branching. When a black or dark-colored inner layer is bonded to a white or light colored reflective outer layer, soil temperatures are lower and water retention is promoted. Such a barrier may be used as a freestanding container for plants or be manufactured into preformed rolls for use in plant pots and containers.
