Frequently Asked Questions
How many pavers do I need?
Calculate area, divide by paver size, add 10% waste. Example: 200 sq ft with 4×8 pavers = 200 × 4.5 × 1.1 = 990 pavers.
How much base for pavers?
4-6 inches compacted gravel for patios, 6-8 inches for driveways. Top with 1-2 inches sand. Proper base prevents settling.
How much do pavers cost?
Concrete pavers: $1-3 per sq ft. Brick pavers: $3-6. Natural stone: $10-30. Installation: $8-20 per sq ft total.
What size pavers for patio?
12×12 or larger for patios (easier installation). 4×8 or 6×9 for walkways and borders. Larger pavers = fewer joints, faster install.
Do I need edge restraint?
Yes, plastic or metal edging prevents paver spreading. Install around entire perimeter. Secure with spikes every 12-18 inches.
