I'm thinking about backfilling it with a thin concrete mix. Thoughts on this? I live in Vegas, so it's mostly warm with a couple of sub-freezing nights per winter, typically.

The problem stems from that the driveway concrete edge is not perfectly vertical, so when I set my edge stones level, there's a crack between them and the driveway. I definitely don't want dust, dirt and debris to fill up the crack with weeds growing shortly thereafter. Any advice?

Wrong. My yard slopes down to the street, and I'm about to put in landscape gravel and I know that it will "wander" down onto the street. I see this happening all the time on other yards. The edge stones will stop this and make it look neat too. It just gives me a couple of new head aches

I would put down a weed barrier and fill the crack with sand. I think the concrete fill would detract.

The crack is at it's biggest 1/2" or maybe even less.
