That sounds good, Kelly. For our floor we first put down hardware cloth because we have moles, voles and gophers in the area. Crushed pea gravel went over that, and then we laid cement pavers. It makes it nice to walk on. They are red in color, so our hard water is slowly turning them white, but if it gets too bad I can clean them up.
At first I was thinking of using mulch but I've gotten too many splinters from weeding in mulches.
Edited to say that I'm barefoot sometimes, so the mulch wouldn't work for me.
