ABSTRACT:
A landscape stake system comprises an improved stake and a hammer cap. The stake comprises a tapered lower region and an intermediate region. Preferably, the intermediate region comprises an I-beam format to provide reinforcement of the stake to prevent cracking of the stake during insertion of the stake into the ground. An upper region of the stake comprises a first U-shaped channel that is configured to receive a portion of a landscape edging board. The upper region of the stake further comprises a plurality of horizontal grooves and apertures configured to receive a fastener. The hammer cap comprises a substantially horizontal surface that is configured to receive the head of a hammer and a pair of vertical legs that form second channel and are configured to receive the upper region of the stake.
