Another method for cutting concrete pavers is to use a hand held power saw such as a skillsaw with a masonry blade or a cut off saw. Mark a line on your paver where the cut needs to be.

The shape will appear curved however when all the pavers have been set. Make it long enough to outline your entire curve.

Again the curve must be mapped onto the pavers and then a series of lines must be drawn also to complement it.

Set the saw blade to cut inch deep and position the paver on a flat surface such as the ground or a sturdy board set on top a couple of sawhorses. Saw along the marked line on the front and on.

Step 1 cut a piece of rope with your shears. Generally just 2 lines are needed with one end of each line beginning on a free edge of the paver intersecting inside it.

Back the saw out after about 30 seconds to avoid overheating.
