Because there’s no such thing as too many.
What happens here
To achieve the precise shapes required for accent patterns, edges, and curves, pavers often need to be cut. Workers are shown using an electric paver saw or cut-off saw to make accurate cuts on pavers. A measuring tool, such as a speed square or tape measure, is used to mark the cutting lines. These custom-cut pavers are then carefully fitted into their designated spots within the patterns, around existing structures, or along the perimeter of the patio/walkway. A rubber mallet is used to fine-tune their placement.
Goal: Precisely cut pavers to fit patterns, edges, and around obstacles.
