Hi Tracyann,
Did some research and found that you have precast concrete walls in you courtyard, would have loved to see a picture of them to understand what you are starting with.
Here is a link that might give you some ideas on what you could possibly do.

Best to you.
Please send us a picture. I am not familiar with the Vibracrete brand name.
Concrete can be stucco’d over,
stained with masonry/concrete dyes in patterns or textures,
tiled over (must use frost proof tile, like porcelain bodied)
and one can attach bamboo curtains/screens if water damage isn’t an issue.
Hi Tracyann. My name is Cindy. You could put lattice on the vibracrete walls. Then plant something at its base that will climb up the lattice. Perhaps some ivy. I think that will give you the modern look that you want for your courtyard. Good luck Tracyann. I hope this helps you.
