If you use permeable pavers. Wich are made with wider gaps. It's all in the clean stone, and size of the stone you use from sub base, base, bedding stone, and stone to fill the bond lines.The sone alows water to flow through without clogging the sytem. All of these factors, if done correctly will be the best permeable paved system available.

How much area does a yard of asphalt cover?

A yard of asphalt typically covers about 80 to 100 square feet at a thickness of 2 inches. The coverage can vary slightly depending on the specific type of asphalt and its compaction. For more accurate calculations, it's essential to consider the desired thickness of the asphalt layer.


How many 6 x 9 patio pavers are needed for 195 square feet?

It is not possible to be sure because the units for the pavers are not specified. Assuming that they are 6 inches by 9 inches, each paver covers 3/8 of a square foot. To cover 195 sq ft, therefore, will require 195*8/3 = 520 pavers. However, this answer assumes the area is "well-behaved". To pave an area with an irregular shape or curved boundaries will require more pavers - unless all the offcuts are used and there is no wastage.


Why partial safety factor of concrete is more than steel?

Concrete is unpredictable compared to steel...


How many 6X9 pavers do you need to cover 144 square feet?

Assume they are 9 inch x 6 inch pavers. The area of each paver is 9*6/144 = 3/8 sq feet Area to be covered = 144 square feet So number of pavers required = 144/ (3/8) = 384 That is the minimum number required if the area to be covered is "well behaved". If the area is not an exact number of pavers long/wide, of if there are curves you will have to cut some pavers and, unless all the offcuts can be used, you will require more than 384.


How many 6x9 pavers to cover 160 square feet?

At minimum, 427. Depending on the exact geometry, you might need more than that.
