Retaining Walls:

Total Lineal ft. ________ x Conversion Factor ________ x # of rows _______ = Total Bricks Needed

Pavers:

Project Dimensions: Length _____ x Width ______ = Total Square Ft. ______
Lineal ft. of edge (for borders): (2 x Length) _____ + (2 x width) _____ = Total Lineal ft. of edge

# Pavers needed: Total sq. ft. of area ______ x Conversion Factor ______ = Total Pavers needed ______
# Edge Stones needed: Total Lineal ft. of edge _____ x Conversion _____ = Total Edge stones needed _____
NOTE: Number of full edge & half edge stones will vary depending on the laying pattern.

Natural Stone/Flagstone:

1 Tonne will cover about 150 ft2 using a 1" thick stone or about 10 lbs per ft2
1 Tonne will cover about 40-50 ft2 using a 2-6" thick stone or about 20 lbs per ft2
Dry stacking will use about 100 lbs per sq. ft. of wall face

   SQUARE (6 x 6")                4.25
ROMAN EURO CIRCLE
   3 layers of the bag will build a 5' diameter circle
   1 full bag (6 layers) will build an 8.5' diameter circle or two 5' diameter circles

To Calculate Cirlces:
Area (pi = 3.14) pi * R2 = area of circle OR Diameter x Diameter x .7864
ie: Diameter of circle is 12' --- 3.14 x 6 (radius) x 6 (radius) = 113 ft2 or --- 12 x 12 x .7864 = 113 ft2
Circumference (lineal footage around the outside of the circle) or 2 * pi * R
Ie: Diameter is 12' --- Circumference is 2 x 3.14 x 6 (radius of circle or ½ of diameter) = 38 lineal ft.
