How to Calculate It Yourself
- 1
Calculate patio area: 10 × 10 = 100 sq ft.
- 2
Calculate paver coverage: paver width (in) × paver length (in) ÷ 144 = sq ft per paver. For 4×8: 4×8÷144 = 0.222 sq ft.
- 3
Divide area by coverage: 100 ÷ 0.222 = 450 pavers.
- 4
Add 10% for cuts and waste: 450 × 1.10 = 495. Round up to 500 pavers.
Pro Tip
For a 10×10 patio, also plan for: 1 inch of bedding sand (0.31 yd³), 4–6 inches of compacted gravel base (1.2–1.9 yd³), and edge restraints for the perimeter (40 linear feet). The base materials often cost as much as the pavers themselves.
