Edging members for retaining or restraining installations of pavers, landscaping, and covering materials are constructed for endwise, longitudinal assembly with one another, and to receive stakes of generally V-shaped or generally U-shaped cross section, and spikes driven at angled orientations, for securing the members, on a substrate, against lateral and upward displacement.

A kit for installing a horizontal grass-like weed-blocking border for ground area adjacent vertical outdoor structures includes at least two elongated synthetic turf strips with a width in a predetermined range, at least two hold-down pieces, and instructions for use.

A raised garden box assembly. The raised garden box assembly may include a plurality of hollow sidewalls, each hollow sidewall may have a top rail, a bottom rail, an inner side member and an outer side member, where the top rail is connected to an outer side member and an inner side member and the bottom rail is also connected to the inner side member and the outer side member. The outer side member and the inner side member may form a hollow interior space and each of the plurality of hollow sidewalls may include a plurality of support ribs, each of the plurality of support ribs may directly contact the outer side member and the inner side member. The top rail, bottom rail, outer side member, inner side member and plurality of support ribs of each hollow sidewall may be integrally formed as a single unitary piece via an extrusion process. The raised garden box assembly may also include a plurality of hollow corner posts, each corner post having a first and second opening, where each of the first and second openings may receive a terminating end of one of the plurality of hollow sidewalls, the plurality of hollow sidewalls and corner posts forming an enclosure.

Provided is a surfacing system, such as an artificial turf system. The surfacing system includes a base member formed from a plurality of interconnected tile members. The base member is configured to accept a suitable amount of infill material. A covering layer such as an artificial turf layer is applied over the infilled base member and secured to a flexible outer border member. Also provided is a method of installing the surfacing system.

A hillside planter dam enabling a user to cultivate plants on a sloped or otherwise irregular grade has an overhanging funnel, a lateral sidewall, a trowel portion, and a main axis. The overhanging funnel provides a flared structure suitable for gathering rainfall and directing the flow of said water to the interior of the lateral sidewall. The lateral sidewall defines a retention structure defined concentrically about the main axis, terminating in the trowel portion opposite the overhanging funnel. The trowel portion defines an edged formation tapering from the lateral sidewall towards the main axis, wherein the trowel portion defines a similar overall form to a conventional gardening trowel. In at least one instance, a user may employ the hillside planter dam as both a hand tool and a fixed installation, wherein the overhanging funnel may be used as a handle to affect the placement of the trowel portion.
