Claim 0:
1. A modular landscape border system, consisting of:
a plurality of elongated members having a vertical protrusion extending along each opposing lateral side 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; and
wherein the distal end comprises a greater width than the proximal end;
a connector having a track within each of a first side and a second side of the connector;
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; and
wherein the connector comprises a first portion and a second portion pivotally affixed together about a hinge;
a channel extending through the connector between an upper side thereof and a lower side thereof;
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 the upper side of the connector rests flush with an upper edge of each elongated member of the plurality of elongated members when secured thereto;
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 the connector when the securement spike is inserted through the channel;
wherein the plurality of elongated members comprise a flexible material; and
wherein the plurality of elongated members are arcuate.
