Commercial Concrete

Paving Services

Larsco offers a variety of commercial concrete services in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding areas. From catch basins to curbs, sidewalks and complete parking lots. We take great pains to carefully assess the existing conditions and investigate underlying soil properties to ensure the best possible application processes that will provide a surface that will serve you and your customers for years to come.


We discuss each project with our clients to best understand and assess the environment and requirements for each job that we do. With an excellent staff and premium equipment, we have what it takes for a well-executed commercial concrete solution for the many services that we offer.

  • Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt

    Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

  • ADA Accessible Parking

    We specialize in providing restriping and accessible parking spaces as required by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. We are skilled in various aspects of ADA Design, including the minimum number of accessible parking spaces, distance route from accessible entrance, removing barriers to proper access, and properly sized parking spaces for cars and van-accessible spaces.

Concrete wheel stops and parking bumpers play an important role in keeping parking lots organized, safe, and functional. At Larsco Construction, we install durable, long-lasting wheel stops designed to protect buildings, sidewalks, vehicles, landscaping, and pedestrians. Whether you manage a small business lot or a large commercial property, well-placed wheel stops help guide drivers, define parking spaces, and prevent costly damage.


We provide installation, replacement, removal, and repositioning of concrete wheel stops as part of a complete approach to parking lot safety. Our team uses high-quality precast concrete products, proper fastening methods, and precise placement to ensure each bumper performs the way it should season after season.

Why Concrete Wheel Stops Matter

Wheel stops are more than simple accessories. They are an essential safety feature that keeps vehicles from creeping beyond designated spaces. They help prevent minor accidents, protect storefronts, and maintain clean, predictable parking flow. Many businesses add wheel stops to improve customer experience, maintain brand appearance, and avoid ongoing pavement wear.



Concrete wheel stops also help control where vehicles stop in areas where curbs or barriers are not present. In high-traffic lots, they become a valuable tool for protecting walkways, cart corrals, loading areas, and landscaped islands. When installed correctly, they create visual clarity, reduce confusion, and improve both pedestrian and driver confidence.

When Wheel Stops Should Be Installed or Replaced

Like any concrete component, wheel stops deteriorate over time. Freeze–thaw cycles, vehicle impact, shifting pavement, and plow damage can cause cracking, displacement, or loosening. Many parking lots also inherit old, misaligned, or uneven wheel stops from previous owners, creating hazards instead of preventing them.



Signs you may need new or replacement wheel stops include cracked or broken concrete, bolts pulling out of the asphalt, misaligned bumpers, uneven spacing, or vehicles consistently parking too far forward. When we inspect your lot, we look at both the structural condition and the placement to determine the best approach. Replacement is usually simple, affordable, and prevents more serious issues.

Our Installation Process

A wheel stop only works if it’s installed correctly. At Larsco, we use a precise placement method that ensures stability, alignment, and durability. The process begins with clearing the surface, marking exact positions, and preparing the pavement. We use high-quality fasteners appropriate for the material anchor spikes for asphalt and rebar pins or bolts for concrete.


Each bumper is positioned with consistent distance from the front of the space and centered correctly. We then secure the wheel stop, check spacing, and verify final alignment. For larger lots, we maintain uniform spacing across rows to help drivers navigate intuitively.



Because wheel stops often interact with snowplows, deliveries, or high-traffic zones, we take extra care to install them in a way that withstands real-world use. Proper fastening and placement help reduce movement and increase lifespan.

Types of Wheel Stops We Install

While concrete wheel stops are the most common option, we install several styles depending on your property’s needs. Concrete remains the go-to choice for most commercial lots thanks to its weight, durability, and resistance to UV and weather changes. Rubber or recycled composite options are used in certain specialty situations, but concrete provides the best long-term performance for most environments.



The shape, size, and fastening system vary based on usage, location, and surrounding pavement. Standard six-foot concrete stops are typical for parking spaces, while longer or heavier units may be used for commercial or industrial areas. We help identify the right style for your lot and handle the full installation.

Placement Planning and Safety

Installing wheel stops is not just about putting blocks in front of spaces. Placement must consider pedestrian paths, visibility, accessibility requirements, and traffic movement. When planned poorly, wheel stops can create tripping hazards or damage vehicles. When planned correctly, they keep the lot safe and organized.



We take time to review your parking layout, entry points, walkways, and ADA spaces before determining where wheel stops are needed. The goal is to enhance safety without creating interference, especially in high-traffic store entrances or shared parking environments. Our team places each stop with precision, ensuring clear spacing and compliance with practical safety expectations.

Protecting Buildings, Sidewalks, and Assets

One of the most important functions of wheel stops is protecting your property. Storefronts, glass entrances, walkways, and signage structures can all be damaged by vehicles that roll too far forward. A well-installed wheel stop stops the tire at the right point, preventing bumper or grille contact with curbs, steps, or walls.



They also help preserve landscaping by keeping vehicles from driving into mulch beds or over decorative borders. Wheel stops reduce soil compaction, protect plant beds, and maintain a clean visual appearance throughout the property. The small investment in installation often prevents costly property repairs down the road.

Concrete vs. Rubber Wheel Stops

Here’s a comparison to help show why concrete remains the most reliable choice for most parking lots:

Finish Type Concrete Wheel Stops Rubber/Composite Wheel Stops
Durability Very high Moderate
Resistance to UV/weather Strong Good
Weight / Stability Heavy, rarely shifts Light, may move with impact
Lifespan Longest Short to medium
Ideal Use Commercial lots, high traffic Light retail or garages
Cost Efficiency High long-term value Higher replacement frequency

Concrete is preferred for heavy-use environments where long-term performance matters.

Why Choose Larsco for Parking Bumper Installation

Our experience with commercial lots, asphalt paving, and concrete structures gives us a clear advantage when installing wheel stops. We understand how drainage, traffic flow, and slope affect placement. We know how to avoid creating hazards while improving the usability of your lot. And we complete installations efficiently, with clean work and minimal disruption to your business.



We approach every job with an emphasis on longevity. That means anchoring wheel stops correctly, spacing them uniformly, and inspecting the pavement to ensure the structure below can support the weight and hardware. The result is a clean, professional appearance that performs reliably.

Maintenance and Repairs

Even the best-installed wheel stops need occasional attention, especially after winter. Snowplows may push or chip them. Heavy trucks may strike them. Pavement may shift over time. We offer repair, replacement, and repositioning to keep your lot safe and accurate. From small adjustments to full-scale replacements, we make sure every space looks organized and functions properly.



If your wheel stops are inconsistent, cracked, or outdated, upgrading them can quickly improve your lot without major construction. Often, this is an easy project that provides a noticeable lift to your property’s appearance.
