Abstract
A landscape edging device provides alignable blocks that are both conformable to a desired curvature and provide a broad base for weed control and ease of mowing along landscaping edges. The device includes a planar base having a concave end and a convex end. The device also has a planar divider coupled to and extending upwardly from a top surface of said base. The divider has a concave end and a convex end that are offset from the ends of the base.

A landscape edging device comprising:
- a planar base having a concave end and a convex end;
- and
- a planar divider coupled to and extending upwardly from a top surface of said base, said divider having a concave end and a convex end, said concave end of said divider being offset from said concave end of said base by a distance equal to a width of said base.
A landscape edging device comprising:
- a planar base having a concave end and a convex end;
- and
- a planar divider coupled to and extending upwardly from a top surface of said base, said divider having a concave end and a convex end;
- and
- a radius of said concave end of said divider and a radius of said convex end of said divider each being equal to half a width of said divider.

A method of using a landscape edging device for landscaping curved edges, the steps of the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of landscape edging devices, each said landscape edging device having a planar base having a concave end and a convex end, said concave end of said base being semi-circular and said convex end of said base being semi-circular, a planar divider coupled to and extending upwardly from a top surface of said base, a longitudinal axis of said base being coplanar with a longitudinal axis of said divider, a length of said base being equal to a length of said divider, said divider having a concave end and a convex end, said concave end of said divider being positioned offset from said concave end of said base, said concave end of said divider being offset from said concave end of said base by a distance equal to a width of said base, a radius of said concave end of said base being equal to a radius of said convex end of said base whereby said convex end of said base is matingly insertable into said concave end of said base of an adjacently positioned said edging device, said radius of said concave end of said base and said radius of said convex end of said base each being equal to half a width of said base, and a radius of said concave end of said divider being equal to a radius of said convex end of said divider whereby said convex end of said divider is matingly insertable into said concave end of said divider of an adjacently positioned said edging device, said radius of said concave end of said divider and said radius of said convex end of said divider each being equal to half a width of said divider;
- positioning each said landscape edging device adjacent to another said landscape edging device forming a line of said edging devices;
- and
- angling each said landscape edging device relative to an adjacently positioned said device whereby said line of edging devices conforms to a desired shape;
- and
- embedding said base of each said device into a ground surface such that said top surface of said base is coplanar with said ground surface whereby said divider of each said block extends upwardly from said ground surface.
