5944 × 8 in.
pavers
Area
120 sq ft
Gravel base
1.7 yd³ · 2.4 t
Bedding sand
0.37 yd³ · 0.5 t

How we figured this: Area ÷ paver face, +10% for cuts; crushed base +15% for compaction (~1.4 tons per yd³); sand at 1.35 tons per yd³; 27 cu ft = 1 cu yd.

Pick the exact product yourself, or ask the counter to quote it and special-order it.

Estimates only. Measurements, layout, and local code change real quantities, so confirm with the counter before you buy for structural work.

Bring your numbers to the counter and we'll check them against the job before anything gets loaded.
