A barrier system to be installed on a ground surface for keeping unwanted vegetation from growing across a boundary comprises a first end stake, a second end stake, a plurality of inner stakes, and a cover. Each stake includes generally horizontally-oriented cap and a generally vertically-oriented anchor attached to the cap. The cover includes a channel, a top wall, a first side wall attached to one side of the top wall, and a second side wall attached to the other side of the top wall. The first end stake is configured to be positioned in the channel at a first end of the cover, the second end stake is configured to be positioned in the channel at a second end of the cover, and the inner stakes are configured to be positioned in the channel in between the first end of the cover and the second end of the cover.

This invention titled ‘Hollow Plastic Garden Blocks’ provides a new and convenient construction material for the home gardener. The blocks can be stacked or placed side by side to construct raised beds, or living walls, or used as garden bed edging. Unlike traditional cement wall blocks, the hollow plastic blocks are very lightweight and easily transported or moved by the home gardener. The blocks can be filled with soil or a suitable planting medium and then seeded or populated with living plants. These blocks are not restricted by interlocking positions therefore offer complete freedom of linear shape alignment. All blocks have drainage holes for greater durability. Any standard and efficient method of plastic shape fabrication could be used to produce these blocks. The blocks can be made of any durable plastic, virgin or recycled, and color choices are unlimited.

A method and system for providing an artificial turf edge. In one embodiment, the system includes: a first raised border piece having an S-shaped cross-section and a first coupling mechanism formed on a first rear surface of the first raised border piece; a second raised border piece having an S-shaped cross-section and a second coupling mechanism formed on a second rear surface of the second raised border piece; and a connector piece configured to be coupled to the first and second coupling mechanisms, thereby coupling the first and second raised border pieces together, wherein top surfaces of the first and second raised border pieces are configured to be coupled to a piece of artificial turf so as to simulate an edge of a real grass lawn.
