Systems and methods for maintaining landscape features. Exemplary landscape maintenance systems include an air flow generation mechanism such as a vacuum and/or blower, a wand assembly having a forearm cuff assembly and a joystick handle assembly, and a nozzle assembly having an agitator assembly. The agitator assembly may include one or more spines or leaflets. The air flow generation mechanism may include a port in fluid communication with the wand assembly. The air flow generation mechanism may also include a port in fluid communication with an exhaust conduit, the exhaust conduit may be attached with a receptacle bag, and the receptacle bag may have a bag frame disposed therein.

The invention relates to a device for combing and conditioning artificial turf, which comprises a handle (1), a pole (2), a head (3) which houses an electric motor (4), and a pair of brushes (5) driven by the electric motor (4), the brushes (5) being configured for combing and conditioning the artificial turf, and such that the brushes (5) have a helical shape.

A hauling device comprising a sheet of flexible material attached along an edge thereof to an adjustable, collapsible handle member. The handle member is preferably formed from two generally rigid handle bars that are pivotally engaged to one another at one end thereof, so that the handle member may be disposed in an open position, a closed position, or any desirable position therebetween. In the open position, the handle bars are disposed linearly (or in an offset linear configuration), in an end-to-end configuration, and in a closed position, the handle bars are disposed in parallel relation. The handle member may also be disposed in a position anywhere between the open and closed position, so that the handle bars form into a V-shape.

Devices, systems and methods having a pair of pivotable molded plastic substantially S shaped elongated arms with handle ends and opposite rake scooper ends. A user can manipulate the handle ends as tongs to pick up yard waste, such as but not limited to leaves, branches and the like, to be moved into yard waste containers, such as trashcans, leaf bags and the like. The pivot point of the pivoting arms is substantially twice as close to the handle ends than to the rake scooper ends to allow for greater leverage for picking up the yard waste. The higher pivotal point can form an approximately 3 to approximately 1 work ratio whereby spreading the handle ends of the device just approximately 11″ or more apart allows for the rake scooper ends have spreads approximately 33″, for maximizing debris collection.
