BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculator works

Paver counts reuse the tile module engine, including joints, waste, and whole-box purchases. Base and bedding sand use measured surface area × layer depth ÷ 324 for cubic yards, then apply the waste factor. Material cost adds purchased pavers and both bulk layer quantities.

Use current quotes, local rates, and measured dimensions to make this estimate useful for your situation.

Frequently asked questions

Is gravel depth loose or compacted?+

The input describes your planned compacted layer. Actual loose order quantity depends on the material and compaction; verify with the supplier and adjust your allowance.

Is joint sand included?+

No. The tool estimates pavers, base gravel, and bedding sand. Jointing sand and edge restraints require separate product-specific estimates.
