Why two Georgia quotes can differ
Pattern and color
Basic to average coloring runs $8-$19 per sq ft. A 2-car stamped driveway runs $12-$18 per sq ft (HomeGuide); Estimators.us puts decorative slabs at $15-$30.
Specialist labor
Stamping has to be done before the concrete sets, so crews arrive in larger teams and charge for it.
Sealing and vapor barrier
Sealer is usually quoted separately; vapor barrier material is $0.20-$1.50 per sq ft depending on thickness (HomeGuide).
Not included
These prices don't include site prep that depends on the project: demolition, grading, or a thicker base.
Related projects, priced for Georgia
Each project weights the trades differently, so Georgia's wage level does not push every price by the same amount. Compared with the US midpoint, asphalt driveway is −7% and concrete driveway −13%.
| Project | Size | Range | vs. US |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete patio | 300 sq ft | $1,150 – $3,550 | −10% |
| Concrete driveway | 600 sq ft | $3,200 – $7,950 | −13% |
| Paver patio | 300 sq ft | $2,700 – $4,950 | −9% |
| Concrete slab | 400 sq ft | $2,200 – $4,800 | −9% |
| Asphalt driveway | 600 sq ft | $2,850 – $6,800 | −7% |
| Gravel driveway | 1,000 sq ft | $2,250 – $9,200 | −10% |
Georgia seasons and stamped concrete
Weather decides when pouring concrete can happen, and Georgia 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.
Gainesville has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Georgia at 9 months (March through November); Dalton has the shortest at 6 (March through June and September through October). Rainfall runs from 45 inches a year in Augusta to 55 inches in Dalton.
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.

What cement masons and concrete finishers and the other trades earn in Georgia
Georgia's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 0.81 times the national level.
Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 60% of the weighting: a median of $22.23 an hour, 19% below the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $18.28 and $26.98 an hour. About 3,400 work in the state. That is 7.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 13.3 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For construction laborers (47-2061, weighted 30%) the local median is $18.74 an hour, which is 17% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $16.93 and $22.57 an hour. BLS counts 27,800 of them working in the state, 56.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $23.02 an hour, 20% below the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $20.03 and $27.38 an hour. About 15,700 work in the state. That is 32.1 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 ($26.98 an hour) would add about $280 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($18.28) would take off about $230. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 4,889,170 jobs across Georgia (May 2025), which is 3.1% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051) | 60% | $18.28 | $22.23 | $26.98 | $27.41 | 0.81 | state |
| Construction laborers (47-2061) | 30% | $16.93 | $18.74 | $22.57 | $22.66 | 0.83 | state |

Georgia metro-by-metro prices
1 of the 10 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $5,050, and the top-to-bottom gap is 11%. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta, GA | $3,050 – $7,350 | $5,200 | +2% |
