Why Midland prices look the way they do
Labor is 59% of the midpoint bill here, against 60% nationally. The mix of trades behind this job is construction laborers (50%), brickmasons and blockmasons (30%), landscaping and groundskeeping workers (20%). We weight each trade's local median wage by that share and compare it with the national median. In Midland the blended ratio comes out at 0.88.
Materials are scaled with BEA's regional price parity for goods. Midland is at 93.8 against 100 for the US, so a materials line of $1,500 nationally becomes $1,400 here (midpoint, 300 sq ft). Permits follow the all-items index of 95.8: $0 to $340.
Data note: 30% of the labor weighting for this project uses a statewide median because BLS has no published metro figure for that trade in Midland. The wage table below marks each row.
The best months for paver patio in Midland
Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Midland Odessa (5 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.
For digging, grading and setting material in the ground, the comfortable months in Midland are September through May: 9 of 12. Outside them, June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.

Inside the workable window, February and December are the driest, at 0.6 and 0.6 inches. The station averages about 115 days a year at 90°F or above.

Who does the work: Midland trade wages
The labor line is built from BLS wage data, one trade at a time. This job draws on 3 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 Midland the blend is 0.88.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 50%) the local median is $18.99 an hour, which is 16% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $17.56 and $22.28 an hour. BLS counts 1,970 of them working in the area, 161.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is deeper than average.
Brickmasons and blockmasons (47-2021) carry 30% of the labor weighting. BLS does not publish this trade for the Midland metro, so we used the Texas statewide median: $27.12 an hour against $29.87 for the US. The middle half of them earn between $23.31 and $28.57 an hour.
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers (37-3011), 20% of the weighting: a median of $18.05 an hour, 4% below the US median of $18.82. The middle half of them earn between $16.80 and $20.39 an hour. About 390 work in the metro. That is 31.9 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 61.3 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (construction laborers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $190 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $80. That is a swing of roughly 2.1% to 4.8% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.
Midland has 122,180 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 177th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
