Calculate gravel cubic yards for driveways, paths, and drainage. Enter area and depth to get tons, cubic yards, and dump truck loads for crushed stone projects.
Estimate retaining wall blocks, base gravel, and drainage for landscape walls. Enter wall length and height for block count and backfill materials.
Free concrete calculator for slabs, footings, and pours. Enter length, width, depth to get cubic yards, cubic feet, and bag counts with waste factor.
Divide project area by single paver face area. Herringbone and diagonal patterns need 10–15% waste vs 5–10% for running bond.
Pavers = ceil(Area ÷ Paver Area × (1 + Waste%))Compact 4–6″ crushed stone base below sand bedding. Heavier traffic needs 6″+ base.
Base (cu yd) = Area × Base Depth (in) ÷ 12 ÷ 271″ screeded concrete sand bed over compacted base. Add 10% for screeding loss.
Sand (cu yd) = Area × 1″ ÷ 12 ÷ 27Updated: July 2026
192 sq ft ÷ 0.25 sq ft/paver = 768 pavers + 10% = 845 pavers. Base: 2.4 cu yd at 4″ depth.
Herringbone 15% waste on 40 sq ft with 4×8″ pavers. Edging restraint required at perimeter.
Heavy load needs 6″ base and thicker pavers (80 mm). Increase base depth in calculator input.
Estimate interlocking pavers, base material, and bedding sand for patios and walkways. Enter project area, paver dimensions, and pattern type to get paver count with waste and subbase gravel in cubic yards.
