Our Bollards Installation Process
Every bollard installation is handled with attention to detail and long-term performance in mind:
1. Site Assessment & Planning
We begin by evaluating your property’s layout, access points, and traffic flow to determine the best locations for bollards. Proper spacing and placement are key to ensuring both protection and visual balance.
2. Underground Utility Checks
Safety is non-negotiable. Before we dig, we contact 811 Dig Alert to mark all underground utilities. This ensures compliance with local regulations and prevents costly or dangerous utility strikes.
3. Core Drilling or Excavation
Based on soil type and bollard size, we core drill or excavate holes that typically range from 18 to 36 inches deep. This depth provides the anchoring strength needed to withstand vehicle impact.
4. Setting & Filling
Once the holes are prepared, steel bollards are placed and leveled precisely. We then fill them with high-strength concrete to maximize durability and resistance to force.
5. Finishing Touches
We offer several finishing options to match your site’s needs and style—primed or powder-coated steel, reflective strips, and optional dome caps. These not only look good but also increase visibility and longevity.
6. Final Inspection
Before wrapping up, we perform a detailed inspection to verify each bollard’s height, alignment, and cure time. Our goal is a clean, consistent result that performs reliably for years.

DIY or rushed bollard jobs often lead to crooked posts, shallow placement, or reduced impact resistance. With Rose Concrete and Development , you’re investing in
