New Free Paving Calculators Now Live on The Paving Site
Planning a patio, driveway, or landscaping project? Estimating materials accurately can be one of the biggest challenges — and getting it wrong leads to wasted time, overspending, or running short on-site.
That’s why we’ve just launched a brand-new suite of free paving calculators, built specifically for UK landscapers, driveway installers, and DIYers.
Whether you’re calculating sub-base, gravel, mortar, or block quantities, these tools make it quick and easy to get the figures right — first time.
What Calculators Are Available?
Here’s what you can now use directly on our site:
- MOT Type 1 Calculator – Estimate how much sub-base you need in m³ and tonnes, ideal for patios and driveways.
- Sand & Cement Calculator – Calculate the grit sand and cement required for a 6:1 bedding mortar mix at 50mm depth.
- Spoil Removal Calculator – Work out how much excavated material you’ll generate and need to remove, with 10% contingency included.
- Gravel Coverage Calculator – Find out how much gravel or decorative aggregate you need, in tonnes, for garden paths and features.
- Block Paving Calculator – Input your block size and area to get an instant estimate of how many pavers you’ll need, including allowance for cuts and waste.
Each calculator is designed with real-world site conditions in mind and based on trusted trade formulas.
