Precision planning for real hardscape projects.
PaverPlan was built to provide homeowners, DIY builders, and contractors with transparent, auditable calculation tools aligned with published hardscape industry guidelines.
The Problem with Generic Estimators
Most online paver calculators are thin marketing pages that use oversimplified formulas. They combine bedding sand and polymeric joint sand, ignore order allowances, and omit base footprint extension planning.
This leads to short shipments, delayed project timelines, or thousands of dollars in wasted materials.
The PaverPlan Difference
PaverPlan isolates each physical layer of a hardscape installation: subgrade excavation, dense-graded crushed stone base aggregate, a nominal 1-inch uncompacted bedding layer using sand meeting applicable ASTM C33 requirements, interlocking paver units, polymer-stabilized joint sand, and mechanical edge restraints.
Every tool exposes its underlying mathematical formula and provides an auditable breakdown of intermediate numbers before final purchase rounding.
