This tool helps you calculate the number of pavers needed for your project based on the area you want to cover.
How to use the Lowe’s Paver Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the number of pavers required for a given area. Enter the dimensions of the area you want to pave and the dimensions of the pavers. Additionally, specify the gap between each paver for accurate results.
Steps:
- Enter the length and width of the area in feet.
- Enter the length and width of a single paver in inches.
- Enter the gap between pavers in inches.
- Click the Calculate button to see the result.
How It Calculates:
The calculation takes into account the total area you want to cover in square feet and converts the dimensions of the pavers, including the gaps, into square feet. It then divides the total area by the area covered by one paver (including the gaps) to determine the total number of pavers required.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate and does not account for cutting or fitting that may be required around edges or curves. Always consider purchasing extra pavers to accommodate waste and potential cutting.
