How Many Pavers Do You Need?
Calculate pavers, sand, and gravel base for patios, walkways, and driveways.
भारत में
Interlocking pavers: ₹25-60/sq ft। Kota stone: ₹20-40/sq ft। Granite: ₹40-100/sq ft। 500 sq ft driveway: ₹12,500-30,000 (pavers only)। Base: 4-6 inch compacted gravel + 1-2 inch sand। Interlocking pavers are very popular in Indian residential — easy to repair, good drainage।
Drainage
Permeable pavers: better for Indian monsoon drainage। Municipality may require certain percentage permeable surface。
A plate compactor ($60-80/day rental) is essential for pavers. Compact the gravel base in 2-inch lifts (not all at once). After setting all pavers, run the plate compactor over the entire surface to lock them into the sand bed. Without compaction, pavers will shift and settle unevenly.
