Paver Calculator
Calculate the paver materials needed for your patio, driveway, or walkway. Understand how paver type, area, pattern, and waste factor affect your project cost and material requirements.
Step 1: Project Details
Understanding Paving Area
Measure the length and width of your project area. For irregular shapes, break it down into rectangular sections and add them together. Remember to include edge restraints in your calculations.
Step 2: Cost Details
About Waste Factor
Waste factor accounts for cutting pavers to fit edges, patterns, and corners. Simple patterns need 5-10% waste, while complex patterns like herringbone may require 15-25% extra material.

Paver Cost Analysis
Paver Cost Formula
Total Cost = (Paving Area × (1 + Waste Factor) × Paver Cost) + (Paving Area × Labor Cost) + Base Material Cost
The total paver cost includes materials (with waste), labor, and base preparation materials. Additional costs may include edge restraints, sand, sealers, and equipment rental.
