Paver Edge Restraint Calculator
Turn separate exposed patio edges into whole restraint pieces, purchased length, fixings, and an optional local material cost.
Part of the Landscaping & Site Work calculators — see all tools in this category.
Paver edge restraint estimate
Order whole lengths for only the exposed paver edges, then record the fastening rule and optional local price.
Preparing calculator controls…
| Run 1 (exposed) | 5 m; 3 pieces |
|---|---|
| Run 2 (exposed) | 5 m; 3 pieces |
| Wall edge (fixed wall) | Excluded |
| Purchased restraint | 6 pieces / 12 m |
Current result
Order 6 whole restraint pieces.
- Measured exposed edge
- 10 m
- After allowance, before stock rounding
- 10 m
- Purchased restraint
- 12 m
- Whole pieces / fixings
- 6 / 0
Fixed-wall runs stay in the layout but do not affect the order. Allowance changes the before-stock need once. Offcut reuse changes only the stock-rounding stage. Your price basis stays exactly as entered; a per-metre price remains per metre in US customary display. A blank price is an incomplete line, not a $0 estimate.
- Offcut reuse is disabled; each exposed run is rounded to whole stock pieces independently.
- Fixed-wall runs excluded from the order: Wall edge.
- Manual fixing count is entered on a total basis and is not inferred from run endpoints.
| Material | Net need | Order quantity |

How it works and assumptions
Add each edge run separately, classify wall-supported edges so they are visibly excluded, then enter the actual stock length you plan to buy. The calculator rounds runs independently unless you explicitly select pooled offcut reuse.
Enter a manual fixing count or the rule for the selected product/SKU. It never assumes a generic fastening schedule. The patio bedding, edging, and fabric takeoff guide explains the measured sequence; the patio material-order and budget guide keeps a restraint order and cost line distinct from the other patio scopes.
Worked example
A separate synthetic worked example is in the calculator panel. It uses two 5 m exposed runs and 2 m stock, then explicitly excludes one wall edge.
