How many 16 X 16 inch pavers would I need for a 10 foot by 12 foot area or 120 square feet?
ANSWER 16 x 16 inch = 1.78 sq.feet 120 / 1.78 = 67.42 so you need to have 68 pavers The plot is 144 inches wide. 144/16=9 pavers wide. The short dimension is 120 inches which would require 8 pavers with the final row of pavers cut to fit. Thus in a 9 X 8 paver grid you'd need 68 pavers, but 4 of those pavers would have to be cut in half for the final row.

How To Choose The Right Pavers?
Installing pavers in a yard or over a patio is often a very straightforward process. One decision that homeowners do need to make is what type of pavers to use. There are several different types available now from natural solutions to synthetic blocks. It is helpful to understand what options are available before choosing and installing pavers. Natural stone pavers are used by many homeowners to create walkways or even elegant patios. A wide range of stone colors and patterns are available. Stone pavers can even have a glossy finish. The stone is resistant to staining and damage from wear. An issue with stone pavers is the tendency for unsealed pavers to absorb water. This can cause some cracking in the winter in cold climates. Concrete pavers are cost-effective, strong and very popular. The pavers come in a variety of different patterns, shapes and textures. They can even be custom made from a mold. Concrete does tend to wear down over time. Some types of pavers will require regular maintenance to maintain a finish. The pigment in the concrete might also fade over time depending on weather and sun conditions. Brick pavers are smaller than most other styles. These are very durable against the weather. The compact size of the bricks allows for very intricate patterns and designs. A disadvantage is that the bricks are not normally exactly the same size. This makes installation more complicated. Another issue for some people is the limited color choices when it comes to brick and clay. Recycled rubber pavers are bricks or panels of recycled tire rubber usually dyed with pigments. These pavers have become popular because they are environmentally friendly. They are also very easy to install. Some manufacturers provide rubber pavers that can be laid directly over concrete. The main disadvantage is that some homeowners do not like the appearance of the material. Plastic pavers are an option for creating garden paths or small patios. Plastic pavers are molded hollow shapes that look like natural stone pavers. They often have a textured surface on top. The pavers are installed over sand or directly on top of soil. They can be secured with spikes or staples in the ground. Although these can create a walkway fast, plastic pavers are not very durable and can crack or break.
How do you lay pavers?
Lay out the area that you would like the pavers. Create a border with 2x4's. lay down sand and crushed stone or rocks and tamp it well with a tamper making sure it is level. Lay the pavers in the pattern that you would like them and use a rubber mallet to ensure they are all level. Once you have gotten all of your pavers in place throw sand on top and sweep the sand into the cracks of the pavers. The sand locks them together and prevents them from shifting. Once you have applied the sand in all of the cracks spray the area with water allowing the sand to get deep within the pavers. Once it has driedcover the patio with sand again and sweep as much as you can into the cracks. .. Your done!
