A marker supported in the ground allows a reel-type grass mower to cut grass around the marker without requiring the removal of the marker. The marker has a flexible elastomeric element coupled between a substantially rigid shaft and a substantially rigid stake and for urging the shaft into axial alignment with the stake and for allowing a reel-type grass mower to bend the rigid shaft over at the elastomeric element to a position with a sign member substantially flat with the ground, and includes first and second raised side edges which serve to protect the signage surface of the marker from damage.

A post supported in the ground at a surface comprising: an elongated substantially rectangular sign member having first and second raised edges, and a signage surface disposed therebetween with a spine integrally formed with said signage surface and disposed along a central longitudinal axis, and with said first and second raised side edges extending outward from said signage surface and spine, said sign member in tapered at one end to terminate in a substantially rigid shaft which has a width exceeding its thickness and which is formed substantially entirely from said spine; a substantially rigid stake for insertion into said ground, having an upper end which has a width exceeding its thickness and which is disposed substantially level with the surface when said rigid stake is inserted therein; and an elastomeric sleeve having a width exceeding its thickness and which is disposed between said substantially rigid shaft and said substantially rigid stake and having an upper end inserted over said lower end of said substantially rigid shaft and a lower end extending below and inserted over said upper end of said substantially rigid stake, with a clearance located between said lower end of said shaft and said upper end of said stake, said elastomeric sleeve urging said substantially rigid shaft to an upright position substantially normal to the surface of said ground and allowing said post to bend at said elastomeric sleeve in directions perpendicular to said widths and assume any position between said upright position and a position substantially parallel to said surface wherein said first and second raised side edges serve to protect said signage surface from damage when said post is bent at said elastomeric element.
