About PourCanvas

PourCanvas is a set of free online calculators for homeowners and DIYers planning a patio, driveway or walkway. It covers pavers, flagstone and concrete finishes, and works on a phone without any signup.

The site offers 13 calculators that return a material list and an installed cost together. They cover pavers, base gravel, bedding sand, polymeric sand, flagstone, and the cost of paver patios, walkways and driveways, with the labor and materials split shown. Three finish selectors rank concrete options for a general surface, a pool deck or a driveway based on climate, upkeep, budget and style.

What sets it apart is the sourcing. Prices, depths and coverage rates are tied to dated sources such as cost guides, manufacturers, ICPI and federal cost data, with values listed on a methodology page. Each result lives in a shareable link that can be sent to a contractor. The site also has project idea galleries, finish comparisons, design guides and blog articles.
