This tool helps you calculate the number of pavers needed to cover a circular area.
How to Use the Circular Paving Calculator
Enter the radius of the circular area you wish to pave, the length and width of each paver, and the gap you want to leave between each paver into the designated input fields. Then, click the “Calculate” button to see the total area of the circular region and the number of pavers required.
Calculation Explanation
This calculator computes the total area of the circle using the formula for the area of a circle: πr², where r is the radius.
To determine the number of pavers needed, it calculates the area of each paver (including gaps) and divides the total area of the circle by the area of a single paver. The result is then rounded up to the nearest whole number to provide the approximate number of pavers needed.
Limitations
This calculator assumes uniform distribution and does not account for patterns or edge trims. Real-world application might require additional calculations for precise fits and aesthetics.
