Paver stone cement. An inch or two too large, possible to chip a bit off?

I vote for cbelt's solution. They make ones that are more like a lawn mower that might be easier than a hand held one. You'd rent it for less than 50.00, and be done in 10-15 minutes. I do wonder though whether the pavers would sit still? I've used a tile cutter for exactly what you're doing, and it's kind of a tedious task, but not too tough. The chisel's gonna piss you off. kj.

These are the type discs you need to cut the Pavers they will fit circular saws and grinders ...
It is a piece of cake. You will still need to mark where you want to make the cut just like anything else.

They come in different sizes...

Think Lowes and Ace many Hardware Stores carry these type of blades

A 4" angle grinder with an abrasive blade would make a good deep score you can whack with a wide chisel and hammer too..

FTW. simplest solution. maybe even cut all the way through if it's not too thick.

You might also check to see if local big box rents a paver/brick splitter. It is like a giant tile cutter. It scores the line and then snaps it. They may cut one at the store for you for free.


My local paver company has this splitter right outside of their yard office so customers can freely split their purchases as needed. Not exactly kosher to take advantage of something like this if you are not a customer, but, in a pinch, for one small cut, you want ot check if your local suppliers have such a service--and then patronize them in the future.

Yes since it is one square only, maybe a local paver might do it - even if i have to pay a few dollars. Since i dont have any saws or grinders at the moment and this path is not a pro paver job in the first place, i 'm not sure i want to invest too much in it. It sounds like chipping it myself will be like i suspected, maybe all bad cracks. I have to make a few calls. Thx all.
