Paver Manufacturers - RMC, Hanover, Pavestone

[Cathy]

I'm curious about which pavers to use for a small patio - less than 200 sq ft. One contractor stated that he mostly works with RMC, Pavestone and Hanover. I've done some research on this site and seen positive comments on Pavestone and Hanover but nothing on RMC. Anyone have any experience with RMC pavers? Any strong feelings about the others? If it makes a difference, I am in Charlotte, NC.


Thanks.

Cathy, I'm not from the east side of the country so I'm not certain of this, but I believe Hanover is it's own designer and mfg of pavers, and Pavestone may also manufacture, but I know they sell their "designs" (in the form of dies, specs and licenses) to other mfgs. From what I could tell in a brief search of RMC is that they are a regional manufacturer, making products they are licensed to make through others. So they are likely operating on a smaller scale than Hanover or Pavestone. That may or may not mean anything with regard to quality, just a point of interest and something to consider.
