Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the number of pavers needed?

Pavers Needed = (Total area in square feet / Paver area in square feet) × (1 + Waste Factor)

Why do I need waste allowance?

Cutting pavers to fit edges and patterns creates waste. Complex designs need more waste allowance.

How long should I let pavers settle before use?

Wait at least 48 hours after completion to allow sand to settle between patios or walkways.

What base preparation is required?

Start with 6-8″ crushed stone base, 1″ sand setting bed, and compact each layer properly.

What paver sizes are most common?

Popular sizes include 4″x8″, 6″x6″, and 6″x9″. Larger pavers may be used for contemporary designs.
