Springfield weather and the stamped concrete calendar

Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Westfield Barnes Muni Ap (10 miles from the city center). They are 30-year averages, so any one year can run hotter, colder or wetter.

For pouring concrete, the comfortable months in Springfield are May through September: 5 of 12. Outside them, January, February, March, April, October, November 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.

Springfield gets about 45 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, September and October (4.7 inches in October). Inside the workable window, May and August are the driest, at 3.7 and 3.7 inches. The station averages about 18 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.

Stamped concrete: what moves the price in Springfield

• Not included

  These prices don't include site prep that depends on the project: demolition, grading, or a thicker base.

• 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.

What local crews earn in Springfield

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 Springfield the blend is 1.19.

Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 60% of the weighting: a median of $30.56 an hour, 11% above the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $25.00 and $37.28 an hour. About 70 work in the metro. That is 3.5 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 $30.12 an hour, which is 33% above the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $23.44 and $37.06 an hour. BLS counts 880 of them working in the area, 43.7 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 $35.13 an hour, 22% above the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $27.14 and $47.59 an hour. About 670 work in the metro. That is 33.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.

A quick sensitivity check: moving the lead trade (cement masons and concrete finishers) from the median to the 75th percentile wage adds about $400 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $330. That is a swing of roughly 5.5% to 6.6% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.

Springfield has 201,240 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 113th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
