WATER-COLLECTING BOUNDARY BLOCK
A water collecting boundary block includes a body having an opened upper portion and a space portion formed therein, a grating which is seated on the body, and through which a plurality of rainwater inlets are formed, and a drain part formed at one side of a lower end of the body so as to be connected to the space portion, to provide water stored in the space portion to a ground.
More efficient structural cell for facilitating tree root growth
A structural cell system for supporting hardscape, allowing tree root growth, and managing stormwater underneath the hardscape. The system may include: a base having a plurality of receptacles and a plurality of support members interconnecting the receptacles; a plurality of legs each sized and shaped to be attachable to the base within one of the receptacles so as to extend from the base, and to be attachable to another of the legs so that pairs of legs attached to each other collectively extend from the base; and a top attachable to the legs. Outer edges of the base, the top, and the legs attached thereto define a volume, and are configured to support at least that portion of the hardscape overlying the top as well as a commercial vehicle traffic load thereon, while maintaining soil in a substantially uncompacted state throughout at least approximately ninety percent of the volume.
WATER STORAGE SYSTEM AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
The present invention discloses a water storage system, comprising: a water storage brick, a water storage stick and a water storage unit, wherein the water storage stick and the water storage brick are made of construction waste, so as to realize recycling of the construction waste and achieve the effects of protecting the environment and saving resources. The water storage unit uses a mixture of the construction waste, a water retaining agent and an organic or inorganic fertilizer as a culture substrate, so as to retain water and increase the fertilizer. Because the resource utilization of the construction waste is realized, a good environmental protection effect can be achieved. The present invention provides a water storage system and a manufacturing method therefor, so as to effectively solve the problem of difficult water supply for greening and tree planting in arid and water shortage regions, benefit the improvement on an ecological environment, increase a vegetation coverage rate and bring important significance to resource utilization of rainwater and construction of the ecological environment.
Tree Frame and Grate System and Method to Improve Growth of Vegetation in an Urban Environment
A tree frame and grate system and growing method for the purposes of encouraging healthy and abundant root growth and permitting optimal development and growth of a tree or other plant material within an urban or otherwise primarily paved environment. The system is comprised of a preformed supporting frame to contain an engineered growing media and plant material. The engineered media, which may extend beyond the exterior of the supporting frame, is designed to promote healthy growth of the plant material, and resist compaction from overlying pavement. The frame may also support a manufactured grate or other partial enclosure. The system may be adapted for electrical service connection for aesthetic lighting, and piping to provide supplement irrigation.
Tree Frame and Grate System with a Liner and Method to Improve Growth of Vegetation in an Urban Environment
A tree frame and grate system having a liner and growing method for the purposes of encouraging healthy and abundant root growth and permitting optimal development and growth of a tree or other plant material within an urban or otherwise primarily paved environment. The system is comprised of a preformed supporting frame to contain an engineered growing media and plant material. A liner is provided to create a barrier between the system and the media within and/or surrounding the system and that of native or adjoining soils. The frame may also support a manufactured grate or other partial enclosure. The system may be adapted for electrical service connection for aesthetic lighting, and piping to provide supplement irrigation.
Modular cell and matrix for supporting a load bearing feature
A modular cell that may be used with other cells to form a matrix under a load bearing feature, the cell being a single piece molding that supports a compressive load placed thereon, the molding including a void space defined within: a skirt shaped support member defining a substantially planar surface with an opening therein; and at least one leg integral to and extending from the support member. The cell further includes at least one linking member that releasably links together multiple cells to form a matrix of cells. The cells may be linked together vertically and/or horizontally. The cell and matrix include greater load bearing capacity and rigidity through aligned legs to carry the weight and interlinking members that act to share the load among the various cells. The design is cheaper to produce and allows easy access of the void space for filling and laying utility lines.

MORE EFFICIENT STRUCTURAL CELL FOR FACILITATING TREE ROOT GROWTH
A structural cell system for supporting hardscape, allowing tree root growth, and managing stormwater underneath the hardscape. The system may include: a base having a plurality of receptacles and a plurality of support members interconnecting the receptacles; a plurality of legs each sized and shaped to be attachable to the base within one of the receptacles so as to extend from the base, and to be attachable to another of the legs so that pairs of legs attached to each other collectively extend from the base; and a top attachable to the legs. Outer edges of the base, the top, and the legs attached thereto define a volume, and are configured to support at least that portion of the hardscape overlying the top as well as a commercial vehicle traffic load thereon, while maintaining soil in a substantially uncompacted state throughout at least approximately ninety percent of the volume.

Bracket Device for Tree Pit Root Management
A bracket device for tree pit root management is provided, including at least three hexagonal bracket elements and a cover; wherein each hexagonal bracket element includes a center bracket, six side brackets, and six connecting brackets, a corner is formed between two adjacent side brackets, and an arc-shaped groove is formed at the top of each corner. The arc length of the top arc-shaped groove is one-third of the circumference of a circle. The connecting brackets connect the center bracket and the side brackets respectively. When three corners of the hexagonal bracket elements are connected, the top arc-shaped grooves of the three corners are connected to form a top circular groove. The cover comprises a convex ring inserted into the top circular groove. The bracket module formed by connecting multiple bracket devices supported by the columns to provide the overall structural strength and soil-supporting effect are better.
