Patent attributes
An improved landscape timber system including a spike and an adjustable length adapter. In one embodiment of the adjustable length adapter, the adjustable length adapter has one end that is configured to receive an end portion of the landscape timber body for changing the overall length, shortening or elongating, of a landscape timber. Once the adjustable length adapter is fitted onto the landscape timber an aesthetic edge is produced. In one embodiment of the spike, the spike has an adjustable length adapter with a first end, an opposite end, and a plurality of equally radially spaced wings forming an elongated body. The opposite end defines a pointed end for driving into the earth, where the wings of the adjustable length adapter converge toward a common point. The radially spaced wings define a polygonal configuration for improved rigidity of the spike and pointed end.
