Sizing Guide

Understanding paver specs helps you order the right product and calculate exactly what you need for your project.  Each product's packaging info is listed in your product descriptions.

Nominal vs. Actual Size The size listed in a product name (e.g., 4"x8") is the nominal size — the working dimension including a standard joint gap. The actual size is the physical measurement of the stone itself, which is slightly smaller. Both are listed on each product page.

Thickness & Use Case

• 3/4" (20mm) Porcelain — Residential & Commercial pedestrian & light vehicular
• 1" (25.4mm)  — Residential & Commercial pedestrian & light vehicular
• 1-5/8" (41.275mm) — Residential & Commercial pedestrian
• 2-3/8" (60mm) — Residential & Commercial pedestrian & light vehicular
• 2-1/4" — Residential & Commercial pedestrian & light vehicular
• 3-1/8" (80mm) — Commercial pedestrian & light vehicular
• 4" (100mm) — Heavy Industrial & commercial vehicular

Coverage & Pallet Coverage tells you how many square feet one pallet covers. To estimate your order: divide your total square footage by the coverage number, then round up. Always add 10% for cuts and waste.  Sales are sold in full pallet quantities.

Mix Ratios (3-Piece Systems) Some products ship as a pre-mixed pallet of multiple stone sizes. The mix ratio (e.g., 17/33/50%) reflects the proportion of each size per pallet — you cannot order individual sizes separately.

20mm Porcelain  pavers ship at 20mm thickness.

Paver Base Preparation: Plan Before You Dig

A lasting paver surface starts below the pavers. First identify the application: a patio or walkway, a residential driveway, or an area carrying trucks or other heavy loads. This overview applies to conventional sand-set concrete pavers. Permeable systems require a separate, designed open-graded stone base and bedding system; do not substitute the materials below.

How deep should the base be?

For early planning, allow roughly 4–6 inches of compacted aggregate base for patios and walkways and 6–8 inches for residential driveways. These are planning ranges, not universal specifications or guaranteed minimums for your site. Weak soil, poor drainage, frost, or heavier traffic can require more depth or a different design. Base depth excludes the pavers and bedding layer; total excavation must account for all layers and removal of unsuitable soil.

Choose the right base and bedding materials

For conventional installations, use an approved, well-graded crushed aggregate base with a controlled mix of particle sizes that compacts into a stable layer. Ask for the supplier’s gradation and confirm it meets the project specification or applicable local road-base standard, rather than choosing by a trade name alone. Screed a uniform bedding layer, typically about 1 inch before paver compaction, using sand meeting ASTM C33 grading and the paver manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use masonry sand or stone dust as bedding, and do not use extra bedding sand to fill low spots in the base.

Compact in lifts and plan drainage

Remove vegetation, organic material, and unsuitable soil, then prepare and compact the subgrade. Place and compact aggregate in successive lifts, not one deep layer. Lift thickness must match the material and compactor’s capability; follow the equipment guidance and project compaction requirements, and verify density where specified. Correct low spots with compacted base material before bedding. Establish the base and finished surface grades to drain away from buildings toward an approved outlet, following the site drainage plan and local requirements; do not rely on water passing through the joints.

Adjust for local soils and know when to call an engineer

Regional conditions matter: sandy soils, clay, organic ground, fill, high groundwater, and freeze-thaw exposure can require different preparation even within the same region. Do not assume a Florida site is automatically free-draining. Have a qualified civil or geotechnical engineer evaluate weak or wet ground, uncontrolled fill, persistent drainage problems, steep sites, heavy/commercial traffic, or any project requiring an engineered pavement or stormwater design. Confirm the final base section with your installer and product guidance before ordering materials.
