Planning questions
Calculator FAQ
Does the estimate include a coverage allowance?
Yes. The default is 15%, and you can adjust it for the project conditions.
Which density should I use?
Use beach pebbles / river rock for most rounded decorative pebbles, marble / quartz for denser marble products, gravel / crushed stone for angular aggregates, and lava rock for lighter porous material.
Is the pallet estimate exact?
No. It shows a planning range based on common 58-, 70-, and 75-bag pallet formats. Ideal Patio confirms the actual packaging for the selected product.
Can this calculator estimate sandstone pavers?
Use the dimensional calculator on the Premium Sandstone page for pavers, coping, cobbles, and step treads.
