About LayerTally

Most material calculators answer one question: how much of this one thing do I need? LayerTally asks a different question: what does this whole project actually take?

A patio isn't just pavers. It's base gravel, bedding sand, the pavers themselves, joint sand, and edge restraint — each with its own quantity, its own waste allowance, and its own purchase unit. LayerTally walks through every layer so you can buy once and get it right.

Every formula and default we use is documented, sourced where a real standard exists, and labeled honestly as an estimate where it doesn't. We'd rather tell you a number is a planning assumption than dress it up as more precise than it is.
