How do I cut a paving stone?

The two basic methods for cutting pavers are either with a diamond saw blade or mechanical paver splitter. Because of their high strength, pavers are hard to cut. A paver splitter, with a little practice, will make a nice cut but cannot make smaller precision pieces. For more precision cuts and difficult pieces around down spouts, drains, utility boxes, etc., a brick saw using a wet diamond blade is recommended.

Important note: If wet cutting, be careful to not drip or spray the contaminated water onto the pavers. This type of staining is extremely, if not impossible to remove. Pavers should be rinsed thoroughly before placing them into the laying field.
