About Fuchsia Green

Fuchsia Green is led by Director and principle designer Lisa Feurtado who is passionate about creating gardens that not only look beautiful but make you feel good. Lisa’s philosophy is to listen carefully to each client to understand their brief, she then draws on her excellent knowledge of soft and hard landscaping to produce bespoke design solutions based on the client’s preferences, the context of the property and any site constraints or problems to solve.

Fuchsia Green love to see your project unfold from the first enquiry right through to the finishing touches. In a changing climate we strive for sustainable solutions enabling our clients to spend as much enjoyable time outside as possible. To date the company have developed more than a hundred outside spaces from small courtyards to large multi-level family gardens with many clients returning to use our services again and again.

Our services include consultation, 3D CAD design, master plans planting plans, lighting plans, planting and container scheme design and installation. The following outlines the design process and how we will support you throughout your project.

Design Process

1: Initial Consultation

Initial consultation where we will listen to your requirements and offer some advice and immediate thoughts. This will be followed up by a written design brief and an estimate for design fees. On your acceptance, we conduct a site survey and start the design process.

2: Design Proposal

Design proposal – A presentation of design ideas in the form of a 2d scaled plan showing a basic layout of your new garden, a 3d presentation illustrating perspective views and a mood board conveying the styling and inspiration of the design.

3: Master Plan & Quote

Master Plan Documents and construction quote – After further development of the design we will draw scaled documents that will enable the landscape contractor to provide an estimate to build the garden and use as a template to carry out the work.

4: Planting Plan

Planting Plan – We design a planting scheme to bring out the best of the garden design, this will be accompanied by an estimate for supply and installation of planting. We also produce a bespoke garden maintenance handbook that includes a plant list and after care advice.

5: Construction

Once ground had been broken, the Fuchsia Green team keep in touch with you and your landscape contractors whilst the garden is under construction. We are on hand to support you through the process, advise and problem solve as the project unfolds.

Our clients say...

Lisa followed the brief, kept us informed throughout each stage and gave us exactly what we were looking for. She has great vision and is extremely knowledgeable about planting. We highly recommend Fuchsia Green.

Lisa came up with an amazing design and planting plan to maximise the limited available space. she choreographed the production of the garden which has met all our aspirations. Lisa is a great listener and interpreter, paid great attention to detail, and went the extra mile to make sure the project was delivered on time and on budget.

Lisa has been a joy to work with! She has brought wonderful ideas to our garden whilst working well with the budget we gave her. Our house has been transformed and certainly has the “curb appeal” we were looking for.
