Why Add Waste?
Extra material helps cover cuts, pattern layout, chipped pieces, borders, curves, and jobsite adjustments. Most paver projects need 10–15% extra so the installer does not run short.
Paver Estimate
Estimate is based on total square footage plus waste. Final quantities may vary based on pattern, cuts, borders, curves, and installation method.
Boulder Ordering
Boulders are typically selected by size, weight, and placement rather than square-foot coverage. Add your estimated quantity to the quote cart and our team can help confirm the right amount for your project.
