I didn't take a good "before" pic because I didn't realize how this was going to turn out. We have an area adjacent to our driveway at our new house (rental) that was all weedy pebbles and thick crab grass. It's where the trash and recycling cans go.
Homeowner gave me the go ahead to do whatever we want outside. Mowing/weed whacking this area was a PITA because of the pebbles. I decided I was going to rip out the weeds and crabgrass, and put in native plants. Put in a Virginia Sweetspire I picked up for $7 from a local end of season sale, centered between the driveway and the fence. It was a couple inches of pebbles and then clay soil, fine.
When I started working on the crabgrass, I discovered cobblestones. Guess I'm not planting anything there, but I don't have to mow, so it's a win!

Win win! Wish I could find a great surprise like that when I pulled weeds.
Jackpot!
Those cobblestones match the pattern of the Quikrete Walkmaker. [https://www.quikrete.com/athome/walkmaker.asp](https://www.quikrete.com/athome/walkmaker.asp)
Sometimes I dig holes and find bricks…this is way cooler!
