les inclinaisons finales des pavés
Explanation:
The grade (also called slope, incline, gradient, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the inclination of that surface.

Les inclinaisons finales des pavés de l'allée changent selon le revêtement.

"Changes In Grade
To accommodate abrupt changes in grade and to ensure
that the finished project is aesthetically pleasing without
‘lipping’ of the pavers, the pavers with a smaller plan
dimension may be required. This should be achieved by
specifying a smaller paver size in the area of gradient change
or selective cutting of pavers. In areas carrying traffic the
reduced plan dimensions should remain proportional to the
original paving dimensions".
