Abstract: A landscape edging installation includes ends of landscape edging joined together by a connector. The connector may have holes in lugs that are aligned with holes in the landscape edging tabs to receive a ground spike therethrough. The connector allows for and conceals a gap between the adjacent edging pieces. Thus, the arrangement allows for movement, such as contraction and expansion of the edging pieces along a length thereof. Such movement prevents damage to, or improper shifting of the landscape edging installation with respect to the surrounding environment due to large changes in temperature of the installation.
