Paver Calculator
Calculate how many paving stones are needed to cover a patio or walkway.
Formula
Pavers = (area length / paver length) × (area width / paver width) × 1.05
- 5% added for waste and cuts.
- Joint gap included in paver spacing for calculation.
- Typical paver coverage: 4.5 pavers per sq ft for 4×8 in pavers.
10×10 ft area, 12×6 in pavers, 1/4 in gap
Inputs
- Area Length: 10 ft
- Area Width: 10 ft
- Paver Length: 12 in
- Paver Width: 6 in
- Joint Gap: 0.25 in
(120/12.25) × (120/6.25) × 1.05 ≈ 196 pavers.
