# How to Cut Pavers With a Saw
Pavers add a colorful dimension to your landscape. Many homeowners use pavers for paths and walkways. When laying pavers, you'll likely have to cut some pavers to fit into the layout. Cutting pavers typically requires one of two machines rented from a local hardware store or supply shop--a guillotine cutter and a masonry saw.
