Claim 1:
2. A modular landscape border system, comprising consisting of:
a plurality of elongated members having a vertical protrusion extending along opposing lateral sides thereof;
wherein a length of each of the plurality of elongated members defined between the opposing lateral sides thereof is greater than a height of each of the plurality of elongated members;
wherein the vertical protrusion comprises a proximal end affixed to each lateral side of the plurality of elongated members opposite a free distal end;
wherein the distal end comprises a greater width than the proximal end;
a rigid first connector having a track within each of a first side and a second side thereof,
wherein the track is dimensioned to receive the vertical protrusion therethrough;
wherein the track extends along a majority of a height of each of the first side and the second side such that the track comprises an open lower end opposite a closed upper end;
a channel extending through the first connector between an upper side thereof and a lower side thereof;
a second connector having a first portion and a second portion defining a hinge there between;
wherein a track dimensioned to receive the vertical protrusion therethrough is disposed in each of the first portion and the second portion opposite the hinge;
wherein the track extends along a majority of a height of each of the first portion and the second portion such that the track comprises an open lower end opposite a closed upper end;
wherein the channel is dimensioned to receive a securement spike therethrough;
wherein the securement spike comprises a length greater than a height of the connector, such that a working end of the securement spike engages a ground surface when disposed through the channel;
wherein the vertical protrusion comprises a cylindrical distal end that comprises a cylindrical cross-section;
wherein the hinge is defined by a pair of eyelets extending from an upper end of the first portion and a lower end of the first portion and an annular member affixed to the second portion and
wherein the channel extends through each of the pair of eyelets and the annular member;
wherein a lip extends bilaterally from an upper edge of the plurality of elongated members;
wherein a head of the securement spike comprises a diameter greater than that of the channel, such that a lower surface of the head rests flush against the upper side of each connector when the securement spike is inserted through the channel;
wherein the plurality of elongated members comprise a flexible material;
wherein the plurality of elongated members are arcuate;
wherein an upper edge of each of the plurality of elongated members is textured to replicate a border material; and
wherein the pair of eyelets and the annular member each comprise an arcuate distal end that interfaces with a planar interior surface of each of the first and second portions.
