Enter your project details and calculate for a practical planning estimate.
How this estimate works
- • Paver module area uses paver dimensions plus the selected joint width; patio area is divided by module area and waste is added.
- • Base and bedding volumes equal area × depth, converted from cubic feet to cubic yards, with 10% material allowance.
- • Edge restraint is the perimeter of the rectangular patio.
Before you begin
- • This estimate does not account for curves, borders, soldier courses, steps, drains, fixed edges, or mixed-size pattern modules.
- • Base depth and excavation requirements depend on soil, loading, drainage, freeze-thaw conditions, and local practice.
- • Verify actual paver dimensions, coverage per pallet, joint specification, and compaction factors with the supplier.
