What the Belgard Paver Calculator Does
The tool takes the dimensions of your patio, walkway or driveway and the size of the Belgard paver you plan to use, then adds the waste factor you specify. It instantly returns the total number of pavers you should order.
Why the result matters: ordering too few leaves the project unfinished, while ordering too many wastes money and storage space. By including a waste factor you account for cuts, breakage and irregular shapes, so the final count is realistic.
How to read the output – The number shown is the exact count of whole pavers you need to purchase. Round up if you prefer a safety buffer, but the calculator already includes the waste you entered.
Pro tips
- Add a 5‑10% waste factor for cuts and breakage.
- Round up the final paver count to the nearest whole number.
- Order a few extra pavers to match the pattern repeat.
- Double‑check that all measurements are in the same unit (feet).
