Patio Planner

Enter your patio length and width once and get everything for a paver patio: pavers, base gravel, sand, edging and spikes. Pick a paver size and the list updates, so you can shop for the whole job in one go.

Common questions

How accurate is the patio material list?

It is a close estimate for a rectangular patio. Pavers include 5% extra for cuts and breakage, and base gravel includes 10% extra for compaction. Curves, steps or lots of cuts can need more.

Why 4 inches of base and 1 inch of sand?

That is a common setup for a foot-traffic patio on well-drained soil. Driveways, clay soil or cold climates often need a deeper base, so check with your supplier or local code.

My pavers are a different size. What do I do?

Pick your size from the paver dropdown. If it is not listed, use the paver calculator, enter your exact paver length and width, and use that count instead.

When should I hire a pro?

Consider one if the area needs major grading, has drainage problems, is a driveway, or sits next to the house foundation where water must flow away.
