The math, plainly
How it works
- 01
For a rectangle, multiply patio length by width. You can also enter a known area calculated elsewhere, including a combined area for an irregular layout.
- 02
Multiply each paver's face length by its face width in inches, then divide by 144 to get square feet per paver.
- 03
Divide patio area by paver coverage, add your editable allowance, and round up to whole pavers. Joint spacing and pattern-specific cuts are not modeled separately.
