3.11 yd³ incl. allowance Save section Home / Gravel / Gravel paver base Before you order Use the base depth from your project specification. Bedding sand and pavers are separate materials. FROM MEASUREMENTS TO AN ORDER Plan your gravel paver base What to measure Measure the base footprint required by the paving plan, including any specified extension beyond the pavers. Enter only the aggregate base thickness; keep bedding and paver thickness separate. Worked example: 12 ft × 12 ft × 6 in 12 × 12 × (6 ÷ 12) ÷ 27 = 2.6667 yd³; divide by 0.85, then multiply by 1.05.
5% waste · 15% shrinkage
Neat volume 2.6667 yd³
Volume with allowances 3.2941 yd³ Illustrative dimensions and allowances. Use your project specification and supplier’s product data. Quantities shown are before supplier rounding.
Included in this quantity The aggregate base layer with user-entered volume loss and waste.
Measure or price separately Bedding material, pavers, edging, joint material, fabric and installation equipment.
Choose the specified product Match the base specification for the paving system. A supplier’s paver-base example is not a substitute for the specified gradation or an open-graded permeable-pavement design.
Before booking the order If this base also supports a saved concrete section, link it in that section’s budget so the material cost is counted once. Confirm actual density and half-yard or whole-yard sale increments.
