How to Cut a Pavestone Wall Cap
You can cut pavestone wall caps using a circular saw equipped with a masonry blade. Pavestone caps fit over the width of the wall, but you can cut the pavestone caps to fit the length of your wall as well so that they fit the wall perfectly. Take your time and lay out the cap stone prior to making any cuts to avoid wasting your material. Even after cutting your stone, it is important to check each piece for fit before fastening it to the wall. Does this Spark an idea?
