1. What is the EP Henry Paver Calculator?

The EP Henry Paver Calculator helps determine how many pavers you need for your landscaping project based on the area to be covered, the coverage provided by each paver, and any additional border pavers required.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Sqft \) — Total area to be covered in square feet
• \( Coverage \) — Area covered by each individual paver in square feet
• \( Border \) — Additional pavers needed for borders or edges

Explanation: The equation calculates the base number of pavers needed for the area, then adds any additional border pavers required for the project.

3. Importance of Accurate Paver Calculation

Details: Proper paver calculation ensures you purchase the right amount of materials, avoiding both shortages that delay projects and excess that wastes money.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your area carefully in square feet. Check the coverage specifications for your chosen paver style. Consider adding 5-10% extra for cutting and waste.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q5: Can I use this for other paver brands?
A: Yes, the calculation works for any paver brand as long as you know the coverage per paver.
