How do you choose a paving block design?
Start with where the blocks will go. A garage floor carries a car, a garden path carries people, and stepping stones sit on their own in grass. Each design in our range is recommended for particular areas, listed below with how many pieces it takes per square foot. Many designs suit more than one area, so they appear in more than one list.
To work out how many blocks you need, multiply your area in square feet by the figure in the table. Our coverage chart explains the calculation.
