How to calculate pavers
The formula: pavers = ceil( patio area × (1 + waste) ÷ paver area )
- Measure the patio length and width in feet and multiply for the area.
- Find the area of one paver: (length ÷ 12) × (width ÷ 12) in square feet.
- Add about 10% for cuts and breakage.
- Divide patio area by paver area and round up to get the paver count.
