Typical materials for a paver patio
Paver count covers surface area only. Base and bedding materials are ordered separately.
Paver count is based on patio area divided by individual paver area. A waste factor accounts for cuts, breakage, and edge fitting.
Results are planning estimates based on typical assumptions. Verify quantities with product labels and your project layout before purchase. How we calculate
Divide patio square footage by the area of one paver in square feet, then add your waste percentage. Enter paver length and width in inches for accurate piece size.
Add 10% for straight layouts and 12–15% for curves, borders, and diagonal patterns. Running short at edges is common without adequate waste.
This calculator uses paver face dimensions only. Narrow joint gaps between pavers have minimal impact on total count for most patios.
No. Paver count only. Compact gravel base and bedding sand are ordered by volume separately from patio area and depth.
Yes. Enter the length and width of any rectangular unit in inches. Irregular stone layouts may need a higher waste percentage.
Keep a few matching pavers after install. Styles and colors are discontinued over time, making future repairs difficult without spares.
