- Powder-coat or sleeve in protective covers (safety yellow or branded)
- Anchor pre-cast or rubber wheel-stops with 12" pins
- Restore asphalt or concrete around each footing
- Written scope with quantities, materials, and a realistic budget range you can hand to ownership, a board, or a finance director
- Pre-construction notice package with dates, affected areas, and access maps so tenants, staff, or residents are never surprised

FAQ
What bollard size do we need?+
Storefront protection typically uses 6" Schedule 40 pipe, 4-foot above grade, 3-foot below grade, concrete-filled. Heavier applications use 8" Schedule 80.
Removable bollards available?+
Yes — for fire-lane access or delivery routes, we install padlocked removable sleeves.
Wheel-stops or curbing?+
Wheel-stops are cheaper and easier to plow around; integral concrete curbs last longer but require concrete work. Avello recommends based on plowing patterns.
Do bollards need painting or sleeves?+
Painted finishes last 2–3 years before fading. Plastic sleeves stay bright for 10+ years and are easier to replace.
Will the work shut down my property?+
Not necessarily. Every project is different. We will look at how your property operates and plan the work around access, traffic, residents, customers, employees, or other daily activity whenever the project allows.
How is your pricing different from a lower bid?+
The number at the bottom of a proposal does not always tell the whole story. Scope, preparation, materials, quantities, scheduling, and site conditions can all affect the final result. We will explain exactly what we are proposing so you can compare bids based on what is actually included.
Do you work directly with HOA boards and property managers?+
Yes. We can communicate directly with boards, property managers, and other decision-makers involved in the project and provide the information needed to evaluate the work.
What happens if weather delays the project?+
Weather can affect paving schedules. If conditions are not appropriate for the work, we will communicate with you and coordinate the schedule around suitable conditions.
Can you provide documentation for insurance or compliance records?+
We will discuss the documentation your project requires and provide the applicable project information and records available for the work being performed.
