    They sould be just below ground level so not get damaged by a lawn mower or damge the lawnmower blade. Over time they can sink with freeze and thaw, heavy rains. You may need to dig around and below them and try to brace them from sinking.

    Hello Richard. I agree with the above comment from William. You may have to dig it out and add more soil below it and then reinsert it. I believe it just sank over time due to weather conditions. Good luck Richard.

    Hi Richard, I have these too, so I make sure I clear any grass from around them that will affect the proper operation, I use trimmers to do this, check them monthly as you will likely need to do this a few times a year.
