Information

When planning your patio, walkway, or driveway with paving slabs, it is essential to have a precise estimate – a detailed calculation of the number of pavers and the required bedding materials along with their respective costs. Manual estimations can be cumbersome and error‐prone. Our free Patio & Paving Slab Calculator streamlines the process by automatically determining both paver counts and the depth of the bedding layer based on your provided data.

Key Features of the Patio & Paving Slab Calculator

This user-friendly online tool features an intuitive interface with multiple input fields, a visual diagram for layout planning, and clear sections that display detailed calculation results. With straightforward data entry, you can quickly and accurately determine the material requirements for your project.

Our specialized construction calculator computes all essential values using the specified parameters. It also lets you easily save your results as a PDF or print them with one click. This effective tool ensures accurate measurements for both pavers and bedding materials, making it ideal for various landscaping, patio design, and building projects.

Using the Patio & Paving Slab Calculator

To generate a comprehensive estimate, please provide the following details in the calculator’s input fields:

  • Dimensions of the area to be paved (in meters);
  • Dimensions of the paving slabs (in centimeters);
  • Gap width between slabs (this gap, which depends on geometric precision and installation technique, is measured in centimeters);
  • Thickness of the bedding layer (a cushion of gravel, sand, or screenings that forms the base for the slabs, measured in centimeters);
  • Price per square meter of paving slabs;
  • Cost of installing one square meter of paving slabs;
  • Select the "Include curbs" option if you require curbstones around the perimeter of the area.

Once all parameters are entered, click the "CALCULATE" button. The tool will display an image depicting the slab layout, and detailed calculation results will appear below.

IMPORTANT! Before finalizing your materials purchase and project budget for paving slabs and loose bedding, please consider the following:

  • Allowance for cutting, fitting edge slabs, and potential breakage or defects;
  • Irregularities in the area dimensions;

The "Track area" parameter enables you to estimate the portion of the site that will be paved. By calculating the area of a single slab, you can determine the total material requirement accurately. It is advisable to add a small reserve (5–15%) to account for waste, breakage, or necessary trimming.

Reference

Paving slabs are versatile, durable building materials designed for outdoor surfaces such as patios, sidewalks, plazas, and driveways. Typically made from concrete using processes like vibrocasting, vibrocompression, and hypercompression, these slabs offer excellent strength and longevity. Their range of shapes, textures, and colors not only ensures structural integrity but also enhances aesthetic appeal. Additionally, our online calculator is flexible enough to compute quantities for various types of pavers, making it an invaluable tool for diverse construction projects.
