What happens here
Position the prepared wooden cutting guide on the pavers according to the chalk lines marked earlier. Ensure the guide is firmly placed and aligned to create the precise channel for the linear drain. Using a powerful concrete saw, carefully cut along the marked line, following the wooden guide. This process will remove a section of the pavers to accommodate the drain. The cut needs to be deep enough for the drain and its bedding material. Repeat this process for the other side of the drain channel if the drain requires two parallel cuts.
Goal: Create a perfectly straight channel in the pavers for the linear drain
