What nearby projects cost in Tyler
Jobs that often go together with concrete patio are priced below at their usual sizes, using the same Tyler wage and price inputs. Compared with national midpoints, paver patio comes out highest (−11%) and concrete driveway lowest (−16%); the gap comes from the trades each job uses.

Who does the work: Tyler trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 4 trades. We compare each trade's local median with the US median, weight the ratios by how much of the job each trade does, and apply the blend to the national labor cost. For Tyler the blend is 0.79.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 50% of the weighting: a median of $22.04 an hour, 20% below the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $18.64 and $24.90 an hour. About 190 work in the metro. That is 16.5 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 $18.13 an hour, which is 20% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $16.50 and $21.54 an hour. BLS counts 650 of them working in the area, 56.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Carpenters (47-2031), 10% of the weighting: a median of $21.26 an hour, 27% below the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $17.81 and $22.57 an hour. About 140 work in the metro. That is 12.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.44 an hour, 22% below the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $20.15 and $26.77 an hour. About 290 work in the metro. That is 25.2 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (cement masons and concrete finishers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $70 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $85. That is a swing of roughly 3.7% to 3.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Tyler has 115,220 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 189th by size among the 300 metros on this site.

Tyler: what basic, standard and premium work costs
The cited range is split into basic, standard and premium bands, then scaled to Tyler. Bands overlap, because plenty of standard jobs cost as much as a light premium one. Sizes run from 10x10 (100 sq ft) to 20x20 (400 sq ft).
Basic
$1,100 to $2,050
Plain gray slab, broom finish, flat yard
Standard
$1,800 to $2,700
Colored or stained, saw-cut joints, minor grading
Premium
$2,500 to $3,400
Exposed aggregate or heavy decorative finish, drainage work
| Size | Basic | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 (100 sq ft) | $400 – $790 | $700 – $1,100 | $990 – $1,400 |
| 12x16 (192 sq ft) | $720 – $1,350 | $1,200 – $1,850 | $1,700 – $2,300 |
| 20x20 (400 sq ft) | $1,450 – $2,650 | $2,350 – $3,550 | $3,250 – $4,450 |
Why two Tyler quotes can differ
Permit
Permits run $50-$400 where required. Many cities don't require one for a small at-grade patio.
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.

The best months for concrete patio in Tyler
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Tyler (in the city). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For pouring concrete, the comfortable months in Tyler are February through May and September through November: 7 of 12. Outside them, January and December have an average overnight low of 40°F or below, and June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
The 40°F line is a deliberately cautious stand-in. The American Concrete Institute's cold-weather guide (ACI 306R-16) defines cold-weather concreting around an average daily air temperature below 40°F, which is colder than our test of an average overnight low at or below 40°F, so we flag a few extra shoulder months. In cold weather crews may need heated enclosures, insulating blankets or accelerated mixes, and those measures can raise a quote.
Heat matters for concrete as well. With average highs of 90°F or more in June, July and August, crews often start early, wet the base and plan for faster set times.
Tyler gets about 48 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, October and December (4.8 inches in June). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 3.2 and 3.8 inches. The station averages about 96 days a year at 90°F or above.
We do not adjust the estimate by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. It is still worth asking contractors whether an off-peak start date changes their bid.
