Name of Final Hero Project
I help parks, schools, and town crews across the Upstate turn sketches into public spaces that meet code and stand up to heat, storms, and foothill weather. Backed by Bliss Products and Services, I plan coordinated packages so the final layout is practical, durable, and easy to maintain.

Send a site address or GPS pin, a short brief, and your target date. I will review photos or meet on site, check access routes and utilities, confirm clearances and footing needs, and right-size the mix of play equipment, shade, surfacing, shelters, seating, sports and fitness gear, and dog-park items. I return two or three clear directions with layout views, quantities, color sets, budget windows, and current lead times.

Pick a path and I will carry it to opening day. I schedule fabrication and delivery, line up certified installers, assemble submittals and inspections, and keep the schedule moving. If it helps budget or timing, I can point you to cooperative contracts and fast-lead options.

Communities We Serve Across the Upstate

Parks, schools, and trailheads in South Carolina’s Upstate need products that live through heat, storm season, and foothill grades. I verify clearances, footing depth, coatings, and mount types, then shape a coordinated mix of play, shade, surfacing, shelters, seating, and sports pieces that fits local codes and real maintenance plans. The result is a clean package your team can approve quickly.

Grants & Funding Support for Western North Carolina Communities

Finding funding can feel overwhelming. In Western North Carolina I point schools, churches, HOAs, and neighborhood groups to state and federal programs, foundations, and cooperative contracts. My role is the product side: I confirm codes, materials, and maintenance notes, and organize clean, build-ready specs and quotes. I do not write grants, but I connect you to dependable resources and keep the package compliant and easy to review.

Accessibility & Compliance

Grant applications often ask about ADA compliance and inclusive design. Equipment, surfacing, and layouts that support accessibility can strengthen your proposal.

Safety & Durability

Funders look for long-term value. Products like safety surfacing, shade, and quality furnishings show that your project is designed to last.

Community Impact

Grants often emphasize how a project benefits the community. Choosing features like pavilions, fitness stations, or bleachers demonstrates broad use and everyday value.
To begin, send a map pin and your due date. I will return a concise, attachment-ready packet with model numbers, drawings and cut sheets, quantities, quotes with a budget window, warranty and installation notes, and current lead times, aligned with ADA, ASTM, and CPSC. You handle the application narrative and forms; I make sure reviewers see durable, code-aligned solutions sized to your site.
