## About

### Houzz Badges

- 5 Ideabook Saves

Heart and Grit takes a thoughtful, collaborative approach to landscape design. We are focused on building relationships that are open, honest and professional throughout our work together. 

We work to translate your trust and vision into exceptional projects.

With meaningful connections, our vibrant team crafts: wood, gardens and stone into your memorable outdoor spaces.   


Adapt
We hone our skills on a scope of projects each season, from the bedrock hills of Val Des Monts to the heart of Rockcliffe. Each project presents a distinct plan and approach, with the goal of creating a connection to your outdoor space. Our designer will open the discussion to draw and focus on the needs of your space; from its family history, natural environment, architecture- and how we will integrate these elements seamlessly into the landscape.

Educate
Humility and continual learning ties into our projects, including research and educating ourselves on best practices, in both construction and horticulture. As the climate changes, as does our engagement with the outdoors. While we plan your construction, we take the time to discuss the selection of effective, environmentally conscious materials and plantings for your project- focusing on longevity and long term care for your landscape.

Sustain
We understand your landscape is an extension of your home, because of this our project intention always begins with how this space will grow with you for years to come. We prioritize natural materials, sound structural bases and warranty our work, as this is an investment for our team and yours.

**★★★★★ — HU-124103948, July 2019**

> Chelsea and Eric are awesome! Both of them were so kind and professional, and extremely easy to collaborate with. Not only did they care deeply about my vision but they helped me create a beautiful design that is so meaningful and authentic to me! It was refreshing feeling at ease because I knew I could trust them completely. 5 stars would totally recommend Heart and Grit to anyone!

**★★★★★ — Laurent Dussault, June 2019**

> Chelsea and Eric helped me build the deck of my dreams, overlooking the river in my backyard. I would recommend them to anyone for any type of job. They are truly thoughtfull and respect everyone of my desire and concerns. They were able to effectively create exactly what I had in mind. They guided me through every step of the process and were incredibly professional. The building was done quickly and effectively to allow me to enjoy my new place by the river for the remainder of the season. I will be using their services for sure in the near future and advise anyone with any small or big project, to do the same. You won't be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — Matthew Drury, June 2019**

> Very capable, talented and caring crew.  Chelsea and Eric are a top-notch duo.  They have a great mix of vision, attention to detail, good communication skills and the ability to deliver the product as expected.
