There is an old saying: To know humility one must weed the thyme.
And it really is a bear to weed amongst the thyme because it forms a thick mat. You will feel humbled by the experience which is why I would never make thyme-covered paths. It sounds wonderful - stepping into something that sends up such a wonderful scent when you crush it under your feet. But one would be a slave to the weeding! It actually sounds right up my alley - I love a gardening challenge. But not this one.
This thyme grows as a ground cover underneath a yellow tulip tree. The bees love thyme when it is flowering.
