Abstract

The present invention is a lawn edging made of plastic material and comprising a ridge extending along a length thereof. A soil covering portion extends from and along the ridge. A soil penetrating portion also extends from and along the ridge at an angle from the soil covering portion. The soil penetrating portion has an anchoring projection along an edge thereof. A lip extends from and along the ridge, along a median of the angle mentioned above, away from the soil covering portion and the soil penetrating portion. The angle mentioned above is less than a right angle such that when the soil covering portion is bent at a right angle with the soil penetrating portion, the lip extends away from a plane defined by the soil penetrating portion. The lawn edging is also collapsible and bendable to form a coil having parallel coil layers.

A lawn edging installed along a foundation wall at a soil level along said foundation wall, said lawn edging comprising:

a ridge extending along said foundation wall;
a soil covering portion extending transversally from said ridge, and along said foundation wall on a soil surface along said foundation wall;
a soil penetrating portion extending transversally from said ridge and along said foundation wall substantially at right angle downward with said soil covering portion;
a lip extending transversally from said ridge and abutting against said foundation wall;
said lip making substantially a same angle between said soil covering portion and said soil penetrating portion;
such that a contact of said lip against said foundation wall causes a void to be formed between said soil penetrating portion and said foundation wall for improving a sealing engagement of a tip of said lip with said foundation wall, and such that a soil pressure against said soil penetrating portion urges said soil covering portion against said soil surface.
