Transparent calculation

Patio area = length × width. Paver order area adds waste. Total cost adds pavers, base, excavation, labor, perimeter edging and fixed allowances.
FAQ
Paver Patio Cost Calculator questions
Why is paver area larger than patio area?+
The order includes an allowance for cuts, breakage and future repairs.
Does the base rate include excavation?+
No. The calculator provides separate editable rates for base materials and excavation.
How is edging estimated?+
A rectangular patio uses the full perimeter. Open edges or shared borders can be adjusted by changing the edge rate or fixed allowance.
