ABSTRACT:
The lawn border and edging member of this invention has an elongated vertical wall member which has opposite vertical side surfaces, first and second opposite ends, and elongated top and bottom surfaces. A flat plate member is secured to the bottom surface of the wall member and has a width extending outwardly from each side of the wall member to maintain the wall member in a vertical position. The outer ends of the plate member extend longitudinally outwardly beyond each end of the wall member. The plate member has an offset portion on its bottom surface to receive an end extension portion of another juxtapositioned member having an end extension portion and an elongated horizontal slot to receive an end extension portion of another juxtapositioned member having an end extension portion. The wall member has connecting means on its opposite ends for pivotal attachment to the ends of similar wall members. The connecting means includes a tongue element on one of the ends and a size compatible horizontal notch on the other of the ends. A vertical hinge pin having a lower end, and a length greater than the height of the wall member extends through the overlapping tongue elements and horizontal notches. The hinge pins penetrate a ground surface upon which the member is mounted. The protruding ends of the plate members are in the shape of a semi-circle. Except for the hinge pins, the member described heretofore can be comprised of a single piece of molded material.
