Paver Sand Calculator

How to calculate

This is the bedding layer under paving stones, not the sand between joints. Enter the depth required by your chosen installation system.

Worked example

Length (ft): 16 · Width (ft): 12 · Material depth (in): 1 · Bag yield (cu ft): 0.5 · Extra material (%): 10.

These inputs produce 0.65 cubic yards to order. Change the measurements above to match your project.

Before you order

A thicker bedding layer is not a substitute for a properly prepared base. Confirm the specified sand grade and installed depth.

For an irregular footprint, split the project into rectangles. Calculate each section and combine unrounded quantities before rounding the final order. Ask the supplier to confirm product yield and available package sizes.
