The curve is the reason for the border. A concrete drive that sweeps rather than runs straight needs its edge defined, or the eye reads the sweep as a mistake — the paver soldier course does that, and it also gives the slab a clean termination against the lawn instead of a raw edge that grass creeps over.
Poured in winter, which is a matter of watching the forecast rather than avoiding the season. Concrete needs its cure protected from freezing, so the pour was scheduled into a clear window and the surface kept covered. The broom finish across the driving surface is what gives it traction once the weather turns.
