  • Patent number: 6502349
    Abstract: A lawn and garden edging device is provided for serial coupling to form both linear and angled segments for defining lawn and garden boundaries and isolating building structures from the same. A center base portion has reduced thickness end portions with pivoting snap fit connections for mating at both ends with like devices to form a smooth and uniform horizontal base segment that can lie flush or at angles to the horizontal ground surface. A back plate of varying configurations is attached to the base center portion for insertion into the soil to form a vertical sub-surface wall for both straight and cornered configurations. One or more spikes extending from the horizontal base doubly secures the device installation. A vertical back plate is positioned on the device for an above surface wall. The vertical back plate has brackets and an extension for connecting the vertical back plates in series.
