Paver tree rings

What happens here

As pointed out in the video, the 'perfect circle' achieved requires significant cutting because standard concrete blocks are typically square. This step involves marking the desired curve on each square concrete block and then carefully cutting them using a suitable concrete saw. For precision and safety, it's crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment. The goal is to create curved segments that will fit together seamlessly to form a continuous circle around the tree.

Goal: Transform square concrete blocks into curved segments for the circular tree ring.
