Real hardscapers don't even need saws or grinders...

What happens here

Begin by accurately measuring the gap or space where the paver block needs to fit. Use a tape measure to get the precise dimensions. Once measured, transfer this measurement to the paver block. Using a utility knife, score a deep, straight line across the paver block at the marked measurement. Make multiple passes with the utility knife, applying firm pressure, to deepen the score line. This weakened line will guide the paver when it's broken.

Goal: Prepare paver block for cutting
