I have a drive that is not square to the road. I want (using Driveline Elite) the pavers to be square with the house so this will mean cutting in at the join with the road.
With 200x100 pavers, I normally cut in using Tonys method of using 1/2 block where needed. You cannot really see them on a herringbone pattern.
How do I cut in if the blocks are layed in a stretcher bond?
I do not want any tiny cuts at one end of the drive entrance.
Cheers Carl

Don't worry about it I've never had a problem with it and it's totally unavoidable.

on your last row cut the block to fit if its slightly bigger than a row use the large by turning it round length ways till you can get a cut out of a medium when your cut is getting smaller than a third of the block step back a row and use the large ones till you can get a cut out of a medium again

Thanks for that ambient. What does it look like when done like this? Does it blend in well?

it blends in well and is only way to do it without ending up with slivers that break when compacted
