Our proposal demonstrates how we can provide the town staff, Steering Committee members, volunteers and residents with an attractive, practical and inspiring park design that will respond to the natural features of the site and allow for possible phased implementation. Our team has the right skills, expertise, relationships, passion and understanding to ensure that the Yarmouth Dog Park design exceeds the expectations of the Steering Committee. Over the past decade, UPLAND’s partners have worked on a number of high-profi le and award-winning parks, trails and open space plans in Atlantic Canada. Our studies, design plans, illustrations and plan documents frequently receive accolades for their outstanding visual quality. With two landscape architects on staff and one of Nova Scotia’s most experienced Civil Engineers on team, we are excited to offer conceptual and detailed design services, construction and tender documentation and cost estimating. Oliver Bence, who has worked on site improvements at the nearby Yarmouth Regional Hospital, will project manage the design.
