Abstract
A landscape edging assembly which includes first and second elongated strips of material having longitudinal top and bottom edges and being adapted for use as landscape edging.

The end segment and the remainder segment on each strip are integrally connected by a transversely extending segment and having an edge opening slot on the top edge of one of the strips and on the bottom edge of the next mutually adjacent strip. Each slot extends generally halfway into the strip from a respective edge, leaving a remainder transversely extending segment joining the end segment and the remainder segment on each of the strips.

An anchoring structure is also provided for anchoring the end…
