Concrete Cracks may occur as a result of product shrinkage during the drying process, or as a result of thermal expansion and contraction. Control joints also called contraction joints are placed in concrete slabs to control this cracking. Properly placed joints will concentrate cracking along the joint line, and reduce the potential for random cracking throughout the slab.

As the name implies, saw joints are cut with a saw. Tool joints are created by hand with a grooving tool.
Saw cut joints and tool joints both accomplish the same goal, but the visual results are quite different.
Tool joints are commonly used in sidewalks. This type of joint is fairly thick, and has a relatively unfinished appearance.

In contrast, saw cut joints are thin and offer a very clean finish. If you are building a new modern home with exposed stained concrete floors, saw cut joints will provide the cleanest possible aesthetic.
