Nevada labor market for concrete patio
Nevada's labor line is priced from 4 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.07 times the national level.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 50% of the weighting: a median of $29.44 an hour, 7% above the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $24.17 and $36.42 an hour. About 3,290 work in the state. That is 21.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 13.3 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $23.55 an hour, which is 4% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $20.22 and $31.12 an hour. BLS counts 11,890 of them working in the state, 76.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $29.99 an hour, in line with the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $24.25 and $39.13 an hour. About 12,700 work in the state. That is 81.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, which suggests plenty of local crews to bid.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $34.33 an hour, 19% above the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $29.19 and $43.29 an hour. About 5,410 work in the state. That is 34.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for cement masons and concrete finishers ($36.42 an hour) would add about $170 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($24.17) would take off about $130. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 1,551,540 jobs across Nevada (May 2025), which is 1.0% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

If you are planning more than one job in Nevada
Each project weights the trades differently, so Nevada's wage level does not push every price by the same amount. Compared with the US midpoint, concrete driveway is +4% and wood deck −1%.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete slab | 400 sq ft | $2,500 – $5,250 | +1% |
| Stamped concrete | 400 sq ft | $3,300 – $8,100 | +2% |
| Paver patio | 300 sq ft | $2,950 – $5,400 | −1% |
| Wood deck | 300 sq ft | $7,500 – $15,000 | −1% |
| Concrete driveway | 600 sq ft | $3,750 – $9,600 | +4% |
| Asphalt driveway | 600 sq ft | $3,050 – $7,450 | level |
Why two Nevada quotes can differ
Finish
Plain concrete is $4-$12 per sq ft and a broom finish $6-$13; designs with several colors and decorative finishes run up to about $28 (HomeGuide).
Site prep
Excavation, forms and a gravel base are the unglamorous part of the bill and vary most with soil and slope.
Size
Small patios carry fixed costs for forms and mobilization, so the per-square-foot price drops as the patio gets bigger.
Permit
Permits run $50-$400 where required. Many cities don't require one for a small at-grade patio.
Nevada against its neighbors
Nevada ranks 19 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for concrete patio, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $3,650 and the cheapest Arkansas at $2,250, both for 300 sq ft at the midpoint. Nevada sits at $2,700. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.
| State | Distance | Range | Midpoint | vs. here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 210 miles away | $1,400 – $4,600 | $3,000 | +11% |
| Utah | 290 miles away | $1,200 – $3,900 | $2,550 | −5% |
| Arizona | 340 miles away | $1,200 – $3,950 | $2,600 | −3% |
| Idaho | 460 miles away | $1,200 – $3,900 | $2,550 | −5% |
| New Mexico | 550 miles away | $1,150 – $3,600 | $2,400 | −11% |
Basic, standard or premium: Nevada prices
Bands overlap on purpose, since a good standard job can cost as much as a light premium one. Below are the three bands for the default size, then a grid from 10x10 (100 sq ft) to 20x20 (400 sq ft).
Basic
$1,250 to $2,400
Plain gray slab, broom finish, flat yard
Standard
$2,100 to $3,250
Colored or stained, saw-cut joints, minor grading
Premium
$2,950 to $4,100
Exposed aggregate or heavy decorative finish, drainage work
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 (100 sq ft) | $450 – $930 | $810 – $1,300 | $1,150 – $1,650 |
| 12x16 (192 sq ft) | $820 – $1,600 | $1,400 – $2,200 | $2,000 – $2,750 |
| 20x20 (400 sq ft) | $1,650 – $3,150 | $2,750 – $4,250 | $3,850 – $5,350 |
Nevada metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,700, and the top-to-bottom gap is 2%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (300 sq ft) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reno, NV | $1,250 – $4,150 | $2,700 | +1% |
| Las Vegas, NV | $1,250 – $4,050 | $2,650 | −1% |
Nevada seasons and concrete patio
Weather decides when pouring concrete can happen, and Nevada is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Las Vegas has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Nevada at 6 months (February through May and October through November); Reno has the shortest at 3 (May through June and September). Rainfall runs from 4 inches a year in Las Vegas to 7 inches in Reno.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 39 | 104 | 4 | 6: February through May and October through November |
| Reno | 26 | 94 | 7 | 3: May through June and September |
