How this is calculated

We divide the area by the size of one tile, add a little extra for cuts along the edges, and round up to full packs.

Interlocking tiles need less extra than regular tile, since most clip together without cutting. 5% is usually plenty.

Can deck tiles go on grass or soil?

Not directly. They need a firm, flat surface like concrete, pavers, or a compacted gravel base.

Do I need edge trims?

They’re optional, but trims make a clean finish and reduce tripping on the raised edge.
