Estimate everything for a paver patio: paver count from paver size with pattern waste, crushed stone base volume from your depth, 1-inch bedding sand layer and edge restraint length.

Calculation breakdown

  1. 1Pavers: ⌈12.08 ÷ 0.0261 × 1.10⌉ = 509
  2. 2Base: 12.08 × 0.102 × 1.10 compaction = 1.35 m³
  3. 3Sand: 12.08 × 0.0254 m = 0.307 m³
  • Base preparation is the whole job: excavate, geotextile, compacted lifts, screeded sand.

Pavers = ⌈Patio area ÷ (Paver L × Paver W) × (1 + Waste)⌉.

Base volume = Area × Base depth (+10% compaction) · Sand = Area × 1 in bedding.
