Marking Pavers for Custom Cuts
At 0:21 in
A cut every other block ⏰ #hardscape #backyard #landscaping
What happens here
When reaching a curved section or a corner, individual pavers must be marked for custom cutting. The installer (Moreno) is shown kneeling and visually determining the precise shape and angle needed for the next paver to fit snugly against the previously installed one and follow the curve. This often involves placing the paver temporarily in position or using a tool to transfer the exact cut line onto the paver. The goal is to eliminate any noticeable gaps between pavers and maintain the smooth curvature of the border, as highlighted by the narrator stating, 'every little corner needs to be marked.'
Goal: Precisely define the cut lines on individual pavers to fit the curve seamlessly.
