Early on, we had put in some concrete pavers into the courtyard. As is the usual case, this project turned out to be much more difficult than initially perceived. Under the gravel was some heavy clay dirt. Under that was hard, Texas caliche.
Because of this, we had initially limited it to four rows of pavers. It turned out nice, but we went too deep, and the courtyard was therefore on a slant.

Mollie's dad came in to help put in the final rows. It involved raking back the gravel, digging up the clay and rock, and then leveling the space out with sand.
After 500 lbs of sand, we finally got it right.
It was a full day's work, but the end result was worth it. Outfitted with some standard replica glider chairs and succulents, it's good place to enjoy an evening drink.
