The invention relates to a moulded plastic landscape edging strip with integrally moulded plastic spikes that can be severed on site for use in installation and also serve during storage and handling to stiffen the rear edge of the flexible plastic edging strip. Plastic spikes are less expensive to manufacture than conventionally used galvanised steel spikes, however, when integrally moulded with the plastic edging, the marginal increase in cost of the spikes is very low. The costs and time involved in manufacturing, inventory maintenance, handling, shipping and installation are reduced as a result of integrally moulding the spikes and edging together.The edging strip has an elongate vertical wall with bottom edge, front and rear faces, a horizontal footing extending rearwardly from the bottom edge with longitudinally spaced apart apertures and elongate plastic spikes severably joined to the rearward end of the footing. The spikes have a cross-sectional profile adapted for vertical insertion through the apertures, and may include serrated edges to inhibit withdrawal after installation. The integral moulding of spikes with the edging relieves the installer and distributor from the burden of stocking and purchasing separate spikes, calculating the number of spikes necessary for installation, and eliminates the risk of misplacing spikes or forgetting to bring spikes to the job site. The integral moulding of spikes also ensures that edging and spike materials are compatible and will not corrode.
