Retaining Wall...What are the proper tools I should be using?

[steveone]

I am using Country Manor brick to build a custom BBQ island in my backyard. In order to mount some access doors, I will need to cut a few of the bricks to provide the correct sized opening for these doors. What would be the proper tool to cleanly cut these bricks? I thought about installing a diamond blade on my circlular saw, but that would only provide me with a 2 inch cut- these bricks are 6 inches thick. Is there something at the local Home Depot that I can rent or purchase? I'm a novice at this so any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Get the dimensions you need, mark them on the block, then call a few of the local hardscape supply distributors and ask if they cut block. Those that do will probably charge a buck a cut. That's going to be your best bet.
