How it works
Pavers = ceiling(area × (1 + waste rate) ÷ paver face area).
Input definitions
- Patio length (ft)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.

- Face area per paver (ft²)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Paver waste (%)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Compacted base depth (in)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.

Common questions
Does the result include base aggregate?
The primary result is paver count. Base volume is area × entered depth and should be ordered with a compaction allowance.
How does Paver and base material quantity calculate the result?
Pavers = ceiling(area × (1 + waste rate) ÷ paver face area).
What should I verify before using Paver and base material quantity?
