Patio Planner
Size a patio, pick a paver pattern and get pavers, gravel and sand, drawn from above.
A planning estimate: standard four by eight inch brick pavers, a compacted gravel base about six inches deep, about an inch of bedding sand, and a little extra for cuts. We measure your yard and plan the true quantities.

About the patio planner
How is the base worked out?
A compacted gravel base about six inches deep is common for patios, with about an inch of sand on top. Driveways need a deeper base.
Why does the pattern change the count?
Herringbone and other patterns need more cuts at the edges, so the waste allowance is higher.
Does the planner replace a measurement?
No. It is a planning sketch. We measure your yard, plan the slope and drainage and order to the true quantities.
