How to use it
- Enter the wall or area length in feet.
- Enter the wall or area height in feet.
- Confirm the paver size shows 16" × 8" (editable).
- Click Calculate to see units needed and total square footage.
This free tool tells you exactly how many 16" × 8" concrete pavers are required for a given wall or flat surface. It converts your length and height in feet to total square footage, then divides by the paver’s coverage (128 in² ≈ 0.89 ft²). The result shows Units needed – the count of whole pavers – and Area (sq ft) for reference. Knowing the precise count helps you budget, avoid surprise orders, and keep the project on schedule. Read the units column for the number to order; the area column confirms the size you entered. No mortar gap or waste is factored in, so add your own allowance if needed.
Pro tips
- Add 5‑10% extra for cuts and breakage.
- Always round up to the next whole paver.
- Order a few extra units to cover future repairs.
- Double‑check that dimensions are entered in feet, not inches.
