I am super late to this (and glad to hear you're feeling better!) but I am worried about how close you have that sod to the bases of those trees – it is usually a good idea to leave a sod-free area around tree trunks and make sure the trunks don't get hit when you're watering the lawn or you can suddenly become host to a bunch of tree diseases. I hate to be a downer because you did an amazing job but I want your trees to stay happy!

Hopefully it's not too late for you to read this comment, but I'm going to recommend filling in around the pavers with wooly thyme or Magic Carpet Thyme instead of Moss. They're both tough enough to take foot traffic, they smell amazing, and are super soft. More drought tolerant than moss, less prone to browning, and the Magic Carpet Thyme flowers for a while and looks totally magical. Just wanted to share in case you weren't aware of the option!

Fantastic job! It really looks great, and the division of space seems like it's going to work really well. Be proud of your hard work.

Just lifting up the pavers and resetting them was a weekend job in itself – can't believe how much you accomplished! Looks wonderful.
