Claim:
A landscape system for installation within the ground, comprising: a first edging segment having a first conduit portion having a first open end defining a receiver, and a first planar portion configured for being anchored within the ground and extending from the first conduit portion with an upper edge of the first planar portion extending downwardly from a longitudinal lower edge of the first conduit portion; and a second edging segment configured for mating with the first edging segment and having a second conduit portion having a received end configured to be smaller in cross section than the receiver for being received by the receiver of the first edging segment without flexing or expanding the receiver, and a second planar portion configured for being anchored within the ground and extending from the second conduit portion with an upper edge of the first planar portion extending downwardly from a longitudinal lower edge of the second conduit portion; and a slot having an open end and a closed end disposed either adjacent the first open end of the first edging segment or adjacent the first received end of the second edging segment, the slot being configured for receiving a portion of one of the first or second edging segments so that the first and second edging segments may be mated by the first open end of the first edging segment receiving the first received end of the second edging segment, with the first and second edging segments partially overlapping with one edging sliding through the open end and toward the closed end of the slot.
