Who knew it is so easy to engrave concrete pavers with a Dremel? Use a grinder bit coated with diamond dust, it costs about $20. I printed a letter in a large font and used spray glue on the back of the paper to hold it in place on the paver, after carefully cutting out the letter to make a stencil. A stone sealer really brings it out after you finish carving.
I found that while I was carving, keeping the paver damp speeded up the process, but don't start wetting the surface until you have scratched in the outline of your letter, or use plastic film instead of paper for the stencil. Once the paper gets wet, well...you know.
