Whether you need visual barriers, traffic control, or impact protection, our bollard solutions are built to meet your safety and compliance goals without sacrificing curb appeal.
🚧 What Are Bollards and Why Are They Important?
Bollards are short, sturdy posts designed to control or restrict vehicle movement while still allowing pedestrian flow. They play a critical role in site safety, security, and accessibility, especially in areas where foot traffic and vehicles share space.
You’ll often see bollards installed in front of storefronts, along sidewalks, and entrances to commercial or public buildings, anywhere there’s a need to protect people and property from accidental or unauthorized vehicle access.
But bollards aren’t just functional; they’re also a design element that can enhance a property’s layout and appearance. With options like decorative covers, custom colors, and removable or collapsible designs, bollards can provide both protection and visual cohesion with your overall site aesthetics.
When installed properly, bollards:
- Prevent vehicle intrusion in sensitive areas
- Define boundaries and control traffic flow
- Meet ADA spacing requirements while ensuring accessibility
- Add security without obstructing visibility or access
- Protect vulnerable building entries, patios, and pedestrian zones
At Buroff Paving & Sealcoating, we combine expert installation with strategic planning to ensure your bollards are placed exactly where they offer the most protection without interfering with usability or design.

Bollard Installation – FAQ
What types of bollards are available?
We offer several types to suit different needs:
- Fixed bollards for permanent protection
- Removable bollards for occasional access control
- Collapsible bollards for flexible, retractable use
- Decorative options for aesthetic enhancement
How deep should bollards be installed?
For maximum stability, bollard foundations typically need to be 36 to 48 inches deep, especially in snowy areas or for high-impact zones. Deeper installations offer greater resistance to vehicle impact.
Can bollards be installed in asphalt surfaces?
Yes. When installing in asphalt, we usually construct a concrete footing underneath to ensure long-term stability; surface-mounted anchors alone may not hold up as well over time.
What spacing is recommended between bollards?
While there’s no fixed standard, a 4-foot center-to-center spacing is commonly used. This allows pedestrian access while preventing vehicle passage.
Do bollards need permits or utility checks before installation?
Yes. Before installation, it’s critical to call 811 (Call Before You Dig) to locate buried utilities and secure any required municipal permits, especially for permanent bollards.
How long does concrete need to cure before using bollards?
Concrete typically needs 24–48 hours at a minimum before the bollard can withstand load or impact, though full strength may take up to 28 days. Faster cures are possible with accelerators or blankets in colder weather.
