What happens here
Following the marked lines, use a paver saw or a concrete saw with a diamond blade to carefully cut the existing pavers. The video highlights that these cuts have already been done to make way for the accents. This step requires precision to ensure the new accent pavers fit snugly and the overall border is straight and clean. For curved sections, extra care is needed to follow the arc accurately. Once the cuts are made, remove the cut paver sections and excavate any underlying base material to create a trench for the accent pavers.
Goal: Create a clean, uniform channel in the existing walkway for the accent pavers.
