Frequently Asked Questions
How many pavers do I need per square foot?
It depends on paver size: 4x8" brick pavers = ~4.5 per sq ft, 6x6" = ~4 per sq ft, 6x9" = ~2.67 per sq ft, 12x12" = 1 per sq ft. Always add 10% for cuts and waste.
What base do I need under patio pavers?
A proper paver base consists of 6 inches of compacted gravel (crushed stone), topped with 1 inch of coarse sand as a setting bed. The gravel should be compacted in 2-inch lifts.
Do I need edging for a paver patio?
Yes, paver edge restraint is essential to prevent the pavers from shifting outward over time. Use rigid plastic or aluminum edging secured with 10-inch spikes every 18 inches.
