Both! On the stairs it is a ramp, as my wife and I both go out the alley with our bikes for commuting. So I wanted something to get bikes up and down. Because the yard slopes fairly heavily in some spots towards the sidewalk I wanted edging. I was going to use brick, but then thought, hey, I'm pouring concrete, why not just do it all at once? So in the winter it should keep melt off the sidewalk from the lawn, and I'll have a nice edge for grass or plants, so it doesn't overgrow the walk. Decision for next year though! I really like how the sheep fescue grew out front. It is still amazingly green for this time of year. So I might fill it in with that.
