    Planning quantities from rounded rules for standard units and typical joints. Real orders depend on the pattern, the cuts, the openings and the site, and a mason will measure before anything is ordered.

    What moves the quantity

    Four things that change an order.

    Area

    Length times height, less windows and doors, sets the base quantity.

    Unit size

    Modular, queen and king brick, block and pavers cover different areas.

    Joints

    Wider joints use more mortar and fewer units per square foot.

    Waste

    Cuts, corners and breakage mean you order a little more than the math says.

    Good questions

    Material Calculator questions

    How much does a brick, stone or paver project cost?

    It depends on the size, the materials, the base or footing, access and the details. Our Cost Estimator shows planning ranges by project and extras, and a visit turns the range into a written price.

    How long does a typical project take?

    A mailbox or a small repair can be done in a day or two. A patio, a chimney rebuild or a retaining wall often takes several days to a couple of weeks, and a large addition or outdoor kitchen can take longer. You get the schedule before work starts.

    Can you match the brick on my house?

    Often we can get close. Brick weathers over the years, so we bring samples to the wall, compare them in daylight and match the mortar color, texture and strength, too.

    Want it measured for real?

    A visit and a tape measure turn a planning quantity into an exact order and a written price.
