Paver Calculator

Estimate how many pavers a patio or walkway needs, accounting for joint spacing and waste, plus the bedding sand and gravel base underneath.

Enter the area and the size of a single paver, along with the joint width between pavers. The calculator works out the effective coverage of each paver, the count with waste, and the sand and gravel for a standard one-inch bedding layer over a four-inch base.

Estimate only. Sand and gravel assume a one-inch bedding layer over a four-inch compacted base. Adjust for soft or poorly drained soil.
