For 2026 planning in Boston, concrete mixer equipment hire typically budgets in these ranges (before taxes/fees): $55–$95/day, $200–$340/week, and $450–$800/4-week for small electric drum mixers (often 2–3 cu ft); $75–$140/day, $260–$460/week, and $650–$1,100/4-week for 6 cu ft class gas or electric contractor mixers; and $95–$175/day, $320–$560/week, and $800–$1,350/4-week for 9 cu ft/towable-class mixers (when available and spec’d). Regional posted benchmarks around New England show day/week/month figures such as $89/$276/$621 for a 6 cu ft mixer and $99/$316/$697 for a 9 cu ft mixer, which Boston-area accounts commonly see uplifted by metro delivery constraints, congestion scheduling, and higher damage/cleaning exposure. National rental providers (plus strong independents around Greater Boston) will quote differently based on account status, delivery method, and whether your stamped concrete patio placement needs a continuous, no-stop mixing cadence.

Rate note: many suppliers define “daily” as a time period (often 24 hours) rather than “one calendar day,” and some publish this explicitly (e.g., “One Day = 24 Hours; One Week = 7 Days”). Confirm your branch’s clock start/stop and weekend rules before you commit to a stamped concrete patio pour schedule.
Regional reference points used for the 2026 Boston planning ranges above include published New England pricing for mixers (e.g., 3 cu ft electric at $45/day, $171.50/week, $360/month; 6 cu ft at $89/day, $276/week, $621/month; 9 cu ft at $99/day, $316/week, $697/month), as well as posted day rates like $125/day for a 6 cu ft cement mixer and $75/day for an electric cement mixer. Some suppliers also publish smaller “up to 2-bag” electric mixer pricing (e.g., $30/day, $90/5-day, $120/7-day) and comparable gas mixer day/week/month structures (e.g., $60/$240/$720). Use these as anchors, then add Boston-specific logistics (delivery/pickup, street staging constraints, and cleaning risk) to get to a realistic all-in equipment hire budget for stamped concrete patio work.
