## Abstract

A landscape beautification system includes a housing coupled to a riser pipe of a water irrigation system where the riser pipe extends upward from a ground surface. A skirt is disposed about the riser pipe and extends from the housing to the ground surface. A socket is coupled to a sprinkler head that is in fluid communication with the riser pipe.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A landscape beautification system, comprising:
a housing coupled to a riser pipe of a water irrigation system wherein the riser pipe extends upward from a ground surface;
a skirt disposed about the riser pipe, said skirt extending from said housing to the ground surface; and
a socket coupled to a sprinkler head, the sprinkler head engaged with the housing and in fluid communication with the riser pipe.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said skirt is rigid.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said skirt is coupled to said housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, further comprising:
a low-voltage light disposed in said socket, said low-voltage light selected from the group including solar-powered lights and battery-powered lights.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said socket has a base with a hole aligned with a spray adjustment screw of the sprinkler head.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said socket is magnetically coupled to the sprinkler head.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said housing is in threaded engagement with the riser pipe.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The landscape beautification system of claim 1, wherein said housing includes a conduit portion in threaded engagement with the riser pipe and in threaded engagement with the sprinkler head, wherein said conduit portion is adapted to conduct water flowing through the riser pipe to the sprinkler head.

### Claim 9

A landscape beautification system, comprising:
a housing coupled to a riser pipe of a water irrigation system wherein the riser pipe extends upward from a ground surface;
said housing including a conduit portion having a first end in threaded engagement with the riser pipe, said conduit portion having a second end in threaded engagement with a sprinkler head, wherein said conduit portion is adapted to conduct water flowing through the riser pipe to the sprinkler head;
a skirt disposed about the riser pipe, said skirt extending from said housing to the ground surface; and
a socket coupled to the sprinkler head.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The landscape beautification system of claim 9, wherein said skirt is rigid.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The landscape beautification system of claim 9, wherein said skirt is coupled to said housing.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The landscape beautification system of claim 9, further comprising:
a low-voltage light disposed in said socket, said low-voltage light selected from the group including solar-powered lights and battery-powered lights.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The landscape beautification system of claim 9, wherein said socket has a base with a hole aligned with a spray adjustment screw of the sprinkler head.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The landscape beautification system of claim 9, wherein said socket is magnetically coupled to the sprinkler head.

### Claim 15

A landscape beautification system, comprising:
a housing coupled to a riser pipe of a water irrigation system wherein the riser pipe extends upward from a ground surface to a sprinkler head, the sprinkler head engaged with the housing and in fluid communication with the riser pipe;
a skirt disposed about the riser pipe, said skirt extending from said housing to the ground surface;
a socket having a base with a hole; and
a magnetic coupler coupled to the sprinkler head, said magnetic coupler magnetically coupled to said base and aligning said hole in said base with a spray adjustment screw of the sprinkler head.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The landscape beautification system of claim 15, wherein said skirt is rigid.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The landscape beautification system of claim 15, wherein said skirt is coupled to said housing.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The landscape beautification system of claim 15, further comprising:
a low-voltage light disposed in said socket, said low-voltage light selected from the group including solar-powered lights and battery-powered lights.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The landscape beautification system of claim 15, wherein said housing is in threaded engagement with the riser pipe.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The landscape beautification system of claim 15, wherein said housing includes a conduit portion in threaded engagement with the riser pipe and in threaded engagement with the sprinkler head, wherein said conduit portion is adapted to conduct water flowing through the riser pipe to the sprinkler head.
