How to Calculate Pavers for a Patio
- Measure the patio: Enter the patio length and width in metres or feet, whichever your supplier uses.
- Enter paver size and pattern: Add the length and width of one paver, then pick the laying pattern - herringbone needs the most cutting waste.
- Set base depths and prices: Choose sand and gravel depths for your soil, then fill in unit prices from your local quotes.
- Review count and costs: Read the paver total with waste, base volumes, edge length, and the itemized cost table before ordering.
