About Paver Calculator
Give it the patio area and a paver size — presets cover the common 4×8, 6×6, 6×9, and 12×12 in formats — and it computes pavers per square foot, the exact count, and a buy count with waste. It also sizes the compacted gravel base (6 in default) and bedding sand (1 in default) in cubic yards.
Common uses
- Order pavers, base rock, and sand for a patio in one list
- Compare paver counts between 4×8 brick and 12×12 stone formats
