How deep should a bollard be set?

Most commercial bollards are set 36–48 inches deep in a concrete sleeve. Exact depth depends on bollard size, soil conditions, and the impact rating required for the site.

Can you install bollards in an existing parking lot or slab?

Yes — we core drill the existing concrete, set the sleeve, and finish flush with the surrounding surface so the new bollard does not create a trip hazard or drainage problem.

Do you supply the bollards or only install them?

We can install owner-supplied bollards or source bollards as part of the project scope. Tell us what the site needs and we'll quote accordingly.

Local Considerations for OKC Commercial Sites

Oklahoma City commercial properties along major retail corridors face higher vehicle impact risk from drive-through traffic, delivery trucks, and parking lot incidents. OKC clay soil also creates uneven settlement around bollard bases set in inadequately prepared sub-base — proper sleeve installation and compacted backfill prevent lean and tip-over over time.
