I am wondering if there is a stability reason for this, like the soil might wash out easier during rainfall or something.
This edge stone sits about 6-9cm raised in the middle of a walk way, there is no gate or streetway and I was wondering if it just settled badly when it was put in or if this has some regulatory reason like “every 15m we need to place these for stability, slightly raised”

Or is this just not well installed😅

Because its sole purpose seems to be to trip me when I come home from a walk in the evening

  1. Path probably didn’t exist before and was put there later and wasn’t done correctly so it sunk a bit?

  2. Could be that it has a (concrete) foundation (maybe just near the post with the metal thingie – maybe it’s even not “concreted in”, but just laying on top of the foundation of the post/metal thingie), while the “walking plates” have not foundation (either just set directly on the soil or maybe with some fine gravel underneath) and over time might have settler deeper into the soil.

    Why it’s there: No idea. Are you sure both sides are your / the same parcel? Or maybe it is now one parcel and was multiple parcels before? Or previously one side was not grass, but filled with gravel, square plates, etc.?
