What happens here
To achieve the precise fit shown in the video, accurately capture the siding's profile. A contour gauge is the ideal tool for this, as it can be pressed directly against the siding to record its exact shape. Alternatively, you can create a template by carefully tracing the siding's profile onto a piece of stiff cardboard or thin wood, ensuring it extends slightly beyond where the block will sit. This template will serve as the guide for marking the cut on the landscape block.
Goal: Accurately record the exact contour of the house siding.
