Water drainage edging

1. A water drainage edging segment that is elongated in a longitudinal direction and defining a longitudinal axis, the water drainage edging segment comprising:

a horizontally-extending bottom portion;

a vertically-extending top portion; and

an angled intermediate section spanning between the horizontally-extending bottom portion and the vertically-extending top portion,

wherein the horizontally-extending bottom portion defines a plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels projecting above an uppermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion that are oriented at at least one of a perpendicular angle and an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein each of the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels are raised above a lowermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion to define an open passageway from a backside of the water

drainage edging segment and laterally through the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the vertically-extending top portion defines a longitudinally extending upper rib portion spanning from a first longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment to an opposing second longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the longitudinally extending upper rib projects rearwardly from a front plane of the vertically-extending top portion to define a forward offset of the front plane and an upward facing contact surface, and

wherein the water drainage edging segment is formed as one single piece.

2. The water drainage edging segment of claim 1 , wherein the vertically-extending top portion further defines a rear spacer portion that projects rearward from the front plane of the water drainage edging segment to the same degree as the longitudinally extending upper rib.

3. The water drainage edging segment of claim 2 , wherein the rear spacer portion spans from the first longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment to the second longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment.

4. The water drainage edging segment of claim 2 , wherein a series of longitudinally-spaced vertical channels are defined into the rear spacer portion such that a vertical passageway is defined through the rear spacer portion.

5. The water drainage edging segment of claim 2 , wherein the angled intermediate section spans from the rear spacer portion to the horizontally-extending bottom portion and defines an offset of the horizontally-extending bottom portion forward of a rear-most plane of the vertically-extending top portion.

6. The water drainage edging segment of claim 5 , wherein the angled intermediate section spans in a straight line and intersects each of the vertical plane and the horizontal plane at an oblique angle.

7. The water drainage edging segment of claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal end defines an upper joining tongue and the opposing second longitudinal end defines a lower joining tongue, wherein the upper joining tongue is offset such that the upper joining tongue overlaps the lower joining tongue when two adjacent water drainage edging segments are joined together longitudinally.

8. The water drainage edging segment of claim 1 , wherein the water drainage edging segment is configured as a straight section.

9. The water drainage edging segment of claim 1 , wherein the water drainage edging segment is formed of plastic.

10. A water drainage edging segment that is elongated in a longitudinal direction and defining a longitudinal axis, the water drainage edging segment comprising:

a horizontally-extending bottom portion;

a vertically-extending top portion; and

an angled intermediate section extending directly from the horizontally-extending bottom portion and towards the vertically-extending top portion,

wherein the horizontally-extending bottom portion defines a plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels that are oriented at at least one of a perpendicular angle and an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein each of the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels are raised above a lowermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion to define an open passageway from a backside of the water drainage edging segment and laterally through the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the vertically-extending top portion defines a longitudinally extending upper rib portion spanning from a first longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment to an opposing second longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the longitudinally extending upper rib projects rearwardly from a front plane of the vertically-extending top portion to define a forward offset of the front plane and an upward facing contact surface, and

wherein the water drainage edging segment is formed as one single piece.

11. The water drainage edging segment of claim 10 , wherein the angled intermediate section extends to a distal-most point of the vertically-extending top portion.

12. The water drainage edging segment of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels project above an uppermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion.

13. The water drainage edging segment of claim 11 , wherein the vertically-extending top portion is bent to define the longitudinally extending upper rib portion.

14. The water drainage edging segment of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels project above an uppermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion.

15. The water drainage edging segment of claim 14 , wherein the vertically-extending top portion is bent to define the longitudinally extending upper rib portion.

16. A water drainage edging segment that is elongated in a longitudinal direction and defining a longitudinal axis, the water drainage edging segment comprising:

a horizontally-extending bottom portion;

a vertically extending top portion; and

an angled intermediate section spanning between the horizontally-extending bottom portion and the vertically-extending top portion,

wherein the horizontally-extending bottom portion defines a plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels that are oriented at at least one of a perpendicular angle and an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein each of the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels are raised above a lowermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion to define an open passageway from a backside of the water drainage edging segment and laterally through the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the vertically-extending top portion is bent to define a longitudinally extending upper rib portion spanning from a first longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment to an opposing second longitudinal end of the water drainage edging segment,

wherein the longitudinally extending upper rib projects rearwardly from a front plane of the vertically-extending top portion to define a forward offset of the front plane and an upward facing contact surface, and

wherein the water drainage edging segment is formed as one single piece.

17. The water drainage edging segment of claim 16 , wherein the angled intermediate section extends to a distal-most point of the vertically-extending top portion.

18. The water drainage edging segment of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels project above an uppermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion.

19. The water drainage edging segment of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced bottom channels project above an uppermost plane of the horizontally-extending bottom portion.
