Great space! Depending on how much rain and snow you get and if you are thinking of replacing the tile anyway, you might look at some water permeable options like these.

The teak ones especially are easy to move around if you want more or less grassy space for your pets over time.
Allowing the water to run into the ground is good for your hedge and good for the water cycle in general. And it would mean more days where you can use the space because you’re not stepping out into puddles.
This is a great idea. I didn't think about those at all. It'll allow the soil to be more stable in winter when it's wet and rainy.
