Total Pavers Needed
Includes 10% cut waste for 300 sq.ft surface
Order 881 × Standard Holland (6" x 9") Units
Pallets typically hold 300 to 450 standard 6x9 pavers (approx. 90-110 sq.ft per pallet). You will also need 4.07 cu.yds crushed gravel base and 0.93 cu.yds washed concrete sand.
Paver Unit & Foundation Layer Formulas
Unit count combines single-block square footage with pattern-specific cutting allowances, alongside 4-inch base gravel and 1-inch bedding sand layers:
Pavers = ⌈(Patio Area ÷ Paver Area) × (1 + Pattern Waste%)⌉ | 4-inch Base Gravel (Cu Yds) = (Area × 0.333ft × 1.10) ÷ 27Step-by-Step Step Rule:
- 1Input your patio length and width (or direct square footage).
- 2Select standard paver dimensions (brick 4x8, Holland 6x9, square 12x12, 16x16, 24x24).
- 3Choose your laying pattern (Running bond, Herringbone, Basketweave) to apply precise angle-cut allowances.
- 4Review the base materials checklist: crushed stone subgrade, sharp concrete sand bed, and polymeric joint sand.
