What is Paver & Patio Brick Calculator?
Determines the total count of bricks or pavers required based on the square footage of your project and the size of the chosen paver.
👷 Builder's Tip: Measure twice, cut once. These calculations are theoretical; actual site conditions may affect requirements.
How it Works
1. Calculate Project Area (L x W).
2. Calculate Area of one Paver.
3. Total Area / Paver Area = Count.
FAQ
How much waste?
5% for simple rectangles, 10-15% for curves/angles.
Base depth?
4-6 inches of gravel plus 1 inch of sand.
Polymeric sand?
Used to fill joints and prevent weeds.
Do patterns matter?
Yes, herringbone patterns require more cuts/waste.
Sold by pallet?
Check how many sq ft per pallet to order correctly.
