They made up the old walkway. They were set without mortar, so they just need some scrubbing with a stiff brush, and water.

Part of the reason is to be economical in my material costs, but mostly it's because my wife really, really, really liked the look of the brick in front, so I promised to re-introduce it on the wall and planter. And, in that same vein, I set the top of the wall low enough so that the brick cap would be level with the grass behind it.

Thanks for the heads up on expansion bolts in fresh concrete.
