As a Sarasota Ft Myers Florida playground contractor, I support parks, schools, and municipalities with verified credentials, cooperative purchasing alignment, and documentation that keeps approvals moving. Over the years, I have been fortunate to receive awards and professional recognition. These matter because they reflect the trust schools, parks departments, and community groups place in both me and Bliss Products and Services. The standard stays the same: do the job right, support the community, and deliver results that hold up in daily use.Approvals move faster when documentation is clean and consistent. With support from the designers, engineers, and installers at Bliss Products and Services, local teams are guided from early project scoping through closeout with clear specifications, drawings, schedules, and submittals that fit Southwest Florida conditions.This page is a quick overview of clients and credentials: short client notes that can be shared, a few recognition highlights, and the training and credentials kept current.

Most projects involve parks departments, school facilities, and neighborhood associations, but any local group or indivdual can start the conversation. Review teams typically look for clear plan views, inclusive product choices, durable materials, reliable coordination, and submittals that are easy to approve.
