- for securing said root-gripping barrier into soil when inserted therein by providing said at least one root-gripping angle tunnel through which grass and plant roots grow and thus grip on said root-gripping barrier, and through which rain water is discharged to prevent plant roots from rotting away;
- at least one stake-locking nipple
- formed into said root-gripping barrier;
- at least one barrier-securing stopper
- formed into said at least one serpentine stake;
- at least one stake-locking root-gripping hole
- press-punched through said stake tip of said at least one serpentine stake,
- said at least one stake-locking root-gripping hole
- for said at least one stake-locking nipple to respectively snap therein to lock said stake tip to said root-gripping barrier for storage and shipping, and
- for securing said at least one serpentine stake in the soil when inserted therein by providing said stake-locking root-gripping hole through which grass and plant roots grow and thus grip on said serpentine stake;
- at least one single-angled sheath
- molded to said root-gripping barrier,
- said at least one single-angled sheath
- for said at least one serpentine stake to respectively insert therethrough to secure said at least one serpentine stake to said root-gripping barrier for storage and shipping;
- at least one double-angled sheath
- molded to said root-gripping barrier,
- said at least one double-angled sheath
- for securing said six-device-in-one landscape barrier to another landscape barrier or to the ground vertically or in an angle when said at least one serpentine stake is threaded therethrough;
- two vertical guiding walls and
- two angled guiding walls
- each molded to said double-angled sheath,
- said two vertical guiding walls and said two angled guiding walls
- for guiding said at least one serpentine stake while being inserted through said at least one double-angled sheath;
- at least one triple-angled sheath
- molded to said root-gripping barrier,
- said at least one triple-angled sheath
- for securing said six-device-in-one landscape barrier to another landscape barrier or to the ground vertically or in an angle when said at least one serpentine stake is threaded therethrough;
- two curved guiding walls
- each molded to said at least one triple-angled sheath,
- said two curved guiding walls
- for guiding said at least one serpentine stake while being inserted through said at least one triple-angled sheath;
- a plurality of serpentine ridges
- respectively pressed into said at least one serpentine stake,
- said serpentine ridges
- for wedging into said at least one single-angled sheath or said at least one double-angled sheath or said at least one triple-angled sheath to securely lock said at least one serpentine stake therein, for storage and shipping, and
- for frictionally securing said at least one serpentine stake into soil when inserted therein;
- a plurality of anti-digging plates
- for preventing animals from digging underneath said six-device-in-one landscape barrier, and
- for stabilizing said six-device-in-one landscape barrier by soil, gravel, rocks, bark chips, or other landscaping materials, being amassed upon said anti-digging plates;
- a barrier-conforming connector
- molded to said anti-digging plates;
- a plurality of top plate-securing hooks
- respectively molded to said barrier-conforming connector,
- said top plate-securing hooks
- for hooking through said at least one root-gripping angle tunnel,
- to attach said anti-digging plates to said root-gripping barrier;
- a plurality of bottom plate-securing snap-hooks
- respectively molded to said barrier-conforming connector,
- said bottom plate-securing snap-hooks
- for hooking through said at least one root-gripping angle tunnel,
- to attach said anti-digging plates to said root-gripping barrier;
- a plurality of root-gripping locking tunnels
- respectively formed into said serpentine stake,
- said root-gripping locking tunnels
- for securing said at least one serpentine stake in soil when inserted therein by providing said root-gripping locking tunnels through which grass and plant roots grow and thus grip on said serpentine stake;
- and
- a plurality of branching bridges
- respectively molded to said serpentine ridges,
