Abstract:
A landscaping tarp for landscaping an object set in an environment where collection of debris falling from the object is difficult, comprising, in combination:a) a piece of sheeting, with the piece of sheeting having a perimeter and a generally central area within the perimeter, with the sheeting being flexible such that the sheeting can lay flat and be gathered into a bag form;b) an opening in the generally central area, with the opening being openable and closeable;c) wherein the opening and piece of sheeting are positioned about the object such that the debris falling from the object falls on the tarp instead of onto the environment;d) wherein the piece of sheeting comprises first and second flexible sheeting portions, with the generally central area comprising the first sheeting portion, and with the second sheeting portion being between the first sheeting portion and the perimeter such that the second sheeting portion radiates outwardly planarly from the first sheeting portion when the sheeting lays flat;e) wherein the first sheeting portion is extendable and retractable relative to the second sheeting portion whereby the first sheeting portion may give when placed about the object while permitting the second sheeting portion to lay flat; andf) wherein, when disengaged from the object and when the opening is closed, the tarp may be gathered about the perimeter to place the tarp in a bag form to hold the debris therein.
