How this patio estimator works
The calculator works out the total area, estimates slab coverage, then adds wastage. It also estimates sub-base and bedding material from area and chosen depth.
Popular sizes
These patio presets cover the small garden patios, square entertainment areas and larger paving layouts that tend to show up in real buying journeys.
People rarely search for completely random patio dimensions. They tend to look for a familiar size, compare slab counts, then tweak slab format and build-up depth. Pages such as 2m × 2m, 2.5m × 2m, 3m × 2m, 2.5m × 2.5m give you that entry point while keeping the calculator editable.
