Hi,
I planning to block pave the driveway. The front edge of the drive is not parallel to the wall of the house. I'm planning on using Eaton Tumble blocks in 3 sizes (large, med, small) so the long continuous joint goes from side to side where I can cut the final edge block to fit whatever gap remains - even if it is a triangle (sides also not parallel).
But, is it OK to cut the block to fit the front to back final shape?
If so should they be at the kerb edge or the house wall for best effect?
Either way its going to be a long thin taper or do I shift the kerb?
It's 300mm difference over about 7 metres.
Any help appreciated.

The courses should be square to the house and the cuts can go wherever necessary. However, triangle-shaped cuts are NOT acceptable - read the Cutting-in page to learn about inboard cutting techniques.
