What is behind the Lexington Park number
Labor is 41% of the midpoint bill here, against 42% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is cement masons and concrete finishers (50%), construction laborers (30%), operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (10%), carpenters (10%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Lexington Park the blended ratio comes out at 0.95. BLS does not publish this trade for the metro, so we used the Maryland statewide median.
On the materials line, the BEA goods price index for the Lexington Park metro is 99.7 (US = 100). The midpoint materials bill for 400 sq ft comes to $2,000, compared with $2,000 at national prices. Permit and inspection fees are scaled by the broader index (100.8) and land at $50 to $400.
Data note: 50% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Lexington Park. The wage table below marks each row.
Lexington Park labor market for concrete slab
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 4 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Lexington Park is 0.95 times the national level.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051) carry 50% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Lexington Park metro, so we used the Maryland statewide median: $24.98 an hour against $27.41 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $22.75 and $28.44 an hour.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $21.88 an hour, 3% below the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $18.05 and $23.85 an hour. About 450 work in the metro. That is 63.7 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073, weighted 10%) the local median is $29.29 an hour, which is in line with the national $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $24.94 and $30.23 an hour. BLS counts 230 of them working in the area, 32.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.7), so the local bench is about average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 10%) the local median is $30.23 an hour, which is 4% above the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $26.36 and $35.38 an hour. BLS counts 210 of them working in the area, 29.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the cement masons and concrete finishers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($28.44 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $100. At the 25th percentile ($22.75) it shrinks by about $65. The total moves by 2.7% or 1.7%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 70,650 jobs in the Lexington Park area. That makes it the 259th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.05% of US employment.

Specs and site conditions that change a Lexington Park bid
Small-job minimums
Many crews have a minimum charge, so a 10x10 pad can cost more per square foot than a 20x20 slab.
Finish
A broom finish is the baseline. Stamped, stained, or exposed-aggregate finishes are priced as add-ons on top of the slab.
Thickness and mix
A 4-inch slab uses about 1.23 cubic yards of concrete per 100 sq ft; a 6-inch slab uses about 1.85. Stepping up from a 3,000 PSI to a 4,000-4,500 PSI mix adds $10-$40 per cubic yard (Estimators.us).
Extras that change the Lexington Park total
Extras are quoted nationally and then scaled to Lexington Park by the average of the local wage index (0.95) and goods index (1.00), a factor of 0.97. Tick any of them in the estimator above to add them to your total. Treat these as planning figures: an add-on touches different trades than the main job, so the scaling is an approximation.
| Add-on | Local range |
|---|---|
| Add rebar reinforcement | $390 – $1,150 |
| Remove old concrete first | $780 – $2,350 |

Climate in Lexington Park: timing your concrete slab job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Patuxent River Nas (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
April through November is the stretch where pouring concrete runs into the fewest weather problems in Lexington Park (8 of 12 months). January, February, March and December have an average overnight low of 40°F or below.
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.
Lexington Park gets about 45 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 13 inches of snow. The wettest months are June, July and August (4.7 inches in August). Inside the workable window, May and November are the driest, at 3.7 and 3.1 inches. The station averages about 26 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.
