The best months for stamped concrete in Texarkana

Climate numbers on this page come from NOAA's 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals at the nearest suitable station, Texarkana (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 Texarkana are March through June and September through November: 7 of 12. Outside them, January, February and December have an average overnight low of 40°F or below, and 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 July and August, crews often start early, wet the base and plan for faster set times.

Texarkana gets about 52 inches of precipitation in a normal year, including roughly 2 inches of snow. The wettest months are April, May and December (5.3 inches in May). Inside the workable window, September and November are the driest, at 3.9 and 4.3 inches. The station averages about 82 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.

Specs and site conditions that change a Texarkana bid

• 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.

Who does the work: Texarkana 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 Texarkana the blend is 0.74.

Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051), 60% of the weighting: a median of $19.57 an hour, 29% below the US median of $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $18.37 and $22.80 an hour. About 120 work in the metro. That is 20.8 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 $17.48 an hour, which is 23% below the national $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $15.37 and $19.11 an hour. BLS counts 450 of them working in the area, 78.2 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 70.5), so the local bench is about average.

Operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073), 10% of the weighting: a median of $22.50 an hour, 22% below the US median of $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $18.92 and $25.83 an hour. About 280 work in the metro. That is 48.6 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 30.7 nationally, which suggests plenty of 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 $190 to the midpoint estimate; the 25th percentile takes off about $70. That is a swing of roughly 1.5% to 4.1% of the total, which is useful for judging whether a bid reflects wages or something else, such as scope or margin.

Texarkana has 57,580 jobs in total (BLS, May 2025), ranking 296th by size among the 300 metros on this site.
