What happens here
When reaching the edges or needing to fit blocks into smaller spaces, you will need to cut some pavers. The video highlights a beneficial feature of these specific permeable paver blocks: they come with pre-cut notches on their surface. These notches serve as guides for making precise half-cuts. To cut a block, place it on a stable surface and align a power saw with the pre-cut notch. Use a power saw, often a concrete saw with a diamond blade and water cooling, to make a clean, straight cut along the notch. The use of water during cutting helps to minimize dust and cool the blade.
Goal: Precisely cut paver blocks for fitting into the pattern, utilizing pre-cut notches.
