Cement/stone pad

There had been an unused dirt bed here since before I moved in with my boyfriend and he always cut across the front porch to the sidewalk over the dirt, so, I dug out the dirt, laid stones and put my dry cement around them(I framed the ends until the cement was dry). I watered the cement and let it set. I put in a fresh flower bed next to it and transplanted a hosta there. I now have flowers in also(not pictured) but it looks so much better and fixed a walkway eyesore. Can't wait till we get our larch siding up on the house...will look much better then the insulation board. :)
