How to Use the Brick Paver Patio Cost Estimator

Before using the paver cost calculator below, you’ll need to know the estimated square feet of the finished patio or walkway surface.

• • Square or Rectangular Patios: Multiply the length x width to get the area. Ex: A 12′ x 12′ paver patio is 144 square feet.
  • Round Patios: For round or circular patios, we need to do some math. The formula is: Area = (Pi x Radius) x Radius.
    1. Measure across the center of the patio to get the diameter of the circle. Ex: A 16 x 16 round patio has a 16 foot diameter.
    2. Divide the diameter in half to find the radius of the circle. Ex: A 16 x 16 patio has a radius of 8 feet.
    3. Multiply the radius by 3.1415 (Pi), then multiply that result by the radius again. Ex: (8 x 3.1415 = 25.13) x 8 = 201 square feet.
  • Account for Waste: Add 10% to the total square feet when using the paver cost estimator below. This is is to account for waste, rounded paver edges, transitions, etc. The correct number of square feet needed in the cost estimator for a 12 x 12 paver patio is 158 sq ft. (144 + 14)
