Kind of a "not really driveway, but not really entirely garden" space. Of course that is just a guess.

It's all I saw on Instagram at the time, and I liked seeing the rest of it. What was the purpose of those big slabs of rock set in gravel? I'm trying to figure out better paving for some of my gravel areas, and I really like the look of that. Of course, my alternative will not be Texas limestone, but probably concrete.
