Live Real-TimeTotal Concrete Pavers Needed (10% Waste Included)
Compacted Crushed Gravel Base (Tons)
5.95 tons
Screed Bedding Sand (Tons)
1.4 tons
Detailed Calculation Breakdown
Calculation Methodology
Total Pavers = (Patio Area m² / Single Paver Area) * 1.10. Base Crushed Stone (Tons) = Area * 0.10m * 1.70 t/m³. Bedding Sand (Tons) = Area * 0.025m * 1.60 t/m³.
Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer
Adequate plate compaction of the 4-inch crushed gravel subbase is the single most critical factor in preventing future sunken or uneven pavers.
