How this works and common questions
About this tool
Pavers are the patio area divided by one paver, with waste, rounded up once. The base is the patio area times the depth you type, without that waste.
How it works
Patio area divided by one paver, times the waste percent, rounded up once. Base volume is the patio area times the base depth. Sand uses the sand depth the same way. Waste is not added to either volume.
Rules
Cubic yards are cubic feet divided by 27. Verify with your local code or a professional. Ballpark estimate, check before you buy or quote.
