How to use it
- Enter wall length in feet.
- Enter wall height in feet.
- Leave unit size at 16 in × 8 in or adjust if needed.
- Read Units needed and Area (sq ft) results.
The Lowe's Paver Calculator quickly tells you how many 16" × 8" paver units you’ll need for any rectangular wall or floor area. You enter the length and height of the surface in feet, and the tool converts the dimensions to the paver’s size (1.33 ft × 0.67 ft) to compute total units and total square footage. Knowing the exact count helps you budget, order the right amount, and avoid over‑ or under‑ordering. The result shows Units needed – a whole‑number count you should round up, and Area (sq ft) – the total surface you’ll cover. Because the calculator assumes no mortar gap or waste, add your own allowance if needed. Use the instant, free output to plan DIY projects, contractor bids, or home‑renovation estimates with confidence today.
Pro tips
- Add a 5‑10% waste allowance for cuts and breakage.
- Always round up the unit count to the next whole number.
- Order a few extra units to cover future repairs.
- Double‑check measurements before submitting to avoid costly errors.
Real-life examples
- A homeowner planning a new backyard patio needs exact paver quantities.
- A contractor bidding on a residential wall project wants to include precise material costs.
- A DIY enthusiast renovating a garden walkway wants to avoid ordering too many pavers.
Case study
