Abstract:
1. A landscape edging form assembly for forming a concrete edging in place, wherein: the landscape edging form assembly has a length, a non-erected width and an erected width greater than the non-erected width, and a height; the landscape edging form assembly has first and second sidewalls; and each of the sidewalls has a height of about eight inches or less, a length, a top longitudinally extending edge and a bottom longitudinally extending edge; the first and second sidewalls of the landscape edging form assembly are bendable whereby a landscape edging form made of a series of the landscape edging form assemblies can have a straight, angled, curved, circular, oval or sinuous configuration; the landscape edging form assembly includes a first joining extension means with a pressure sensitive adhesive for overlapping and being bonded to an end portion of the first sidewall of the landscape edging form assembly and an end portion of a first sidewall of an adjacent landscape edging form assembly to join and close a joint between the first sidewalls and a second joining extension means with a pressure sensitive adhesive for overlapping and being bonded to an end portion of the second sidewall of the landscape edging form assembly and an end portion of a second sidewall of an adjacent landscape edging form assembly to join and close a joint between the second sidewalls when the landscape edging form assembly is erected and combined with the adjacent landscape edging form assembly in the erection of a landscape edging form made up of a series of the landscape edging form assemblies; the landscape edging form assembly has a series of flexible connectors extending between and interconnecting the first and second sidewalls; the flexible connectors are selected from the group consisting of wire, straps, cords, twines, strings, and strands; the flexible connectors are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the length of the landscape edging form assembly and enable the landscape edging form assembly to be extended from the non-erected width where the flexible connectors are in a slack condition to the erected width where the flexible connectors are in a taut condition; and the first and second sidewalls and the series of flexible connectors are a prefabricated component of the landscape edging form assembly; and the landscape edging form assembly can be in a collapsed non-erected state with one of the first and second sidewalls lying on the other of the first and second sidewalls and the flexible connectors of the landscape edging form assembly in the slack condition for packaging, shipment, storage, and handling prior to erection of the landscape edging form assembly.
