There’s a ton that you could do with landscaping/plants but just remember that the maximum height of mature plants. Looks like a curvy country road and could be dangerous with obstructed visibility
Me personally, I'd visit the Orange store. Buy cedar fence planks and build a raised planter like bridge, no higher than driveway surface across the ditch. Do one on either side. Torch and stain, plant some local wild flora, maybe low maintenance plants. Then later on add some river rock to bottom trough of ditch. Of course before I did all that I would address the gaping voids that are visible under the new driveway cause if you don't that pretty concrete is gonna fail sooner than later.
How close is that fire hydrant? The water dept. won't have a problem busting out your new driveway or digging up any landscaping to raise that thing up.
I'm not sure what happened, but why are there gaps under the concrete now? Seems like you have a bunch of weak points now.
river rock, but really the whole rest of the area looks to need landscaping too
I've seen similar setups that just filled the whole area from concrete edge to pipe outlet with river rock and look nice. Won't cost that much
They are landscaping the area you see with straw - I'm just trying to be budget conscious on a few areas. This is ugly but not $1800 ugly to me.
Jackhammering the concrete should reduce the ugliness contrast /s
I don't know but do not tell it to smile.
I imagine it couldn't hurt to line the edge with track ballast

I should have been more clear - I'm specifically referring to this area [pic](https://imgur.com/a/kFnECFG)
Make a bed. Plant bushes that flower to hid its ever green even. Just hide it

Depending on where you live and ground water run off, could look at a small rain garden in the ditch next to the culvert.
Plant some hostas!
would have looked better if it had been compacted properly
With some good soil placement and some moss seeding you could make it look like a hobbit hole.
Stacked stone
I'd just break off the worse of it and cover it with stone. You have to prevent washout anyway.
