Paver base material for a patio, walkway or driveway.
Area, base depth, edge geometry, compaction allowance, density and delivery unit.
Base volume, estimated weight and purchase quantity.
Base depth depends on soil, drainage and use; follow the installation system and local requirements.
See the estimated project quantity from your measurements.
Add waste and round to complete bags, boxes, cans, bundles or delivery quantities.
Review product coverage, site conditions, local requirements and supplier details before ordering.
Estimate crushed-stone base and bedding sand for patios and walkways.
Calculate the crushed-stone base and bedding layer separately. Convert each depth to feet, multiply by area, then convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Compaction and project conditions must be reviewed separately.
Planning only: base depth depends on soil, drainage, climate and intended loads. Follow the selected paver system and local project guidance.
Calculate paver base aggregate and bedding sand volume in cubic yards or cubic meters. Start with the actual dimensions or load values from the project, keep the units consistent, and change the default assumptions when the product label or supplier sheet gives you a more accurate value.
This page is for early material planning. The result can change with openings, layout, cuts, waste, product yield, density, packaging, access, installation method and site conditions. It does not replace structural design, permitted drawings, manufacturer instructions or a contractor quotation.
For a simple project, enter one measured section first and review the result. If the shape is irregular, split it into smaller sections, calculate each section, and add the quantities before applying whole-bag, box, bundle or delivery rounding.
