About this tool

Planning a patio or driveway usually means juggling five tabs: one for paver counts, one for base gravel, one for cost per square foot, and a forum thread about which finish survives winter. PourCanvas puts that in one place.

There are 13 free tools. The paving calculators (pavers, paver base, sand, polymeric sand, flagstone, plus installed-cost calculators for paver patios, walkways and driveways) return a full material list and an installed-cost range in one result, with a materials vs labor split and regional pricing. The finish selectors rank concrete finishes (broom, exposed aggregate, salt, stamped and more) for your surface and climate.

Every number is dated and sourced, with the full list on the methodology page. Results are shareable via URL, nothing requires an account, and it works on a phone.
