Paver Size

Common: 4×8, 6×6, 6×9 inches

Gap Between Pavers

in

Typical: 1/8 to 1/4 inch

Pro Tips from the Workshop

•Proper base is critical - 4-6 inches compacted gravel
•Add 5-10% extra pavers for cuts and future repairs
•Use polymeric sand for joints - it hardens and resists weeds
•Compact base in 2-inch layers for best results

Paver Installation Calculation

Paver projects need pavers, base material, and sand:

Calculate area in square feet
Determine pavers per square foot based on size and gap
Calculate base gravel (4-6 inch depth)
Calculate sand bedding (1 inch) and joint sand
