Where concrete bollards go in around Yeadon
Typical reasons Yeadon sites choose concrete bollards:
- Rural and coastal sites where steel would corrode
- Town centre squares and pedestrianised streets
- Edges of open land and verges subject to unauthorised vehicle access
Before we dig in Yeadon
Leeds City Council is the highway authority covering Yeadon's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Yeadon need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Leeds City Council before posts go in.
Park and verge locations often have tree roots nearby, which need protecting and can push bollards over time if set too close. Services under footways are traced before excavation.
- Use contrasting colours or bands so grey bollards stand out against grey paving.
- Do not present untested concrete bollards as crash-rated protection.
What happens on site
Plan lifting
Each bollard's weight is checked, and a lifting method is chosen, such as a vacuum lifter or crane arm, with an exclusion zone set during lifts.
Set the bollards
Each bollard is lowered onto a mortar bed with its dowel grouted in, checked plumb and aligned with its neighbours.
Protect while the grout cures
Bollards are left undisturbed until the grout and foundation have gained strength, with temporary barriers if vehicles use the area. Lines that need to open to traffic quickly can use faster-setting grouts where the product allows.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reconstituted stone | Crushed natural stone in a concrete mix, giving a Portland, buff or granite-like appearance for civic and heritage settings. |
| Reflective and contrasting details | Inset reflective bands, contrasting tops or rings for visibility to drivers and partially sighted pedestrians. |
| Precast concrete | Grey or coloured concrete in round, square, tapered or domed shapes, the economical public realm option. |
Pricing concrete bollards in Yeadon
Two Yeadon jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Number of bollards
- Lifting equipment and access for delivery
- Foundation depth and ground conditions
Keeping them working
Keep a note of the product name, finish and supplier, because matching a single damaged bollard years later is much easier when the original specification is known. In areas salted heavily in winter, check for surface spalling.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Yeadon.

Should we use concrete or steel bollards?
Concrete suits landscaped and public spaces where appearance and low maintenance matter and where impacts are rare. Steel suits car parks and yards where knocks are frequent, because it bends rather than shatters. Many schemes use both in different places.
Are concrete bollards anti-ram?
Only if that specific product has been crash-tested. Weight alone does not make a bollard crash-rated, and an untested concrete post can crack or shear when hit hard. Tested concrete-clad products exist for security use.
