When it comes to landscaping in Hendra, homeowners want a team that understands the character of the area as much as the craft itself. Penfold Projects has been shaping landscapes across South East Queensland for over 25 years, from hard and soft landscaping through to concreting, pools, drainage and ongoing maintenance.

We bring that same experience, attention to detail, and ISO-certified quality to every Hendra project, whether it’s a full backyard transformation or a considered refresh of an existing garden.

Hendra’s leafy character calls for landscaping that fits

Hendra has a character all its own. Streets lined with Jacaranda and Poinciana trees give the suburb a leafy, established feel, and many homes sit on larger blocks that back onto the area’s racing heritage near Doomben and Eagle Farm. It’s this combination of space and character that makes Hendra particularly well suited to considered landscape design, whether that’s restoring the garden setting around a classic Queenslander or creating a functional outdoor entertaining area on a more generous block.

The suburb’s proximity to Kedron Brook and green spaces like Bannister Park and T.C. Beirne Park also means many gardens back onto, or sit close to, natural corridors and established tree cover. That’s worth factoring into any landscaping project here, from drainage and civil work through to plant selection that complements the surrounding environment rather than fighting it. It’s this kind of local detail that shapes how we approach every Hendra property.

Our landscaping services

Penfold Projects delivers the full range of landscaping and construction services to Hendra and Brisbane properties, drawing on the same capability and equipment fleet we use across our larger commercial and civic projects.

Hard and soft landscaping — From retaining walls, paving and garden structures through to turf, garden beds and planting schemes, we handle both the built and planted elements of a landscape as one integrated project, rather than treating them as separate jobs.

Structural and decorative concrete — Driveways, paths, patios and feature concrete work are finished to a standard that holds up over time, with an eye for how each element sits within the wider garden design.

Pools and surrounds — For Hendra’s larger blocks in particular, a well-designed pool area can become the centrepiece of the outdoor space. We manage the surrounding hardscape, planting and shade elements so the finished result feels cohesive rather than added on.

Civil and drainage works — Good landscaping starts below the surface. Proper civil and drainage work is especially important on properties near Kedron Brook and the broader natural corridors running through Hendra, where water management needs to be considered from the outset.

Landscape design — Whether you’re working with an established garden around a character home or starting fresh on a newer build, our design team creates plans that suit the site, the climate, and how you actually want to use the space.

Landscape maintenance — Once a project is complete, ongoing maintenance keeps it looking its best. We offer maintenance services so gardens continue to thrive well beyond practical completion.

Because we manage all of these services in-house, clients get a single point of contact across design, construction and long-term care — backed by our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and AS/NZ 4801 certifications in quality, environment and safety.

Servicing Hendra and the surrounding area

While Hendra is very much our focus here, our team works right across this pocket of Brisbane’s inner north. We’re regularly on the ground just next door with landscaping in Eagle Farm, as well as in Ascot, Clayfield, Hamilton and Teneriffe — and a little further out in Bulimba, Morningside, Paddington and Ashgrove.

That spread means we understand how the landscaping needs shift from suburb to suburb, even across neighbouring streets.

Beyond these inner-city pockets, Penfold Projects also has landscapers across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, giving clients the benefit of a team with genuine scale and experience behind every project, big or small.

Why Brisbane clients choose Penfold

Penfold Projects has been putting its stamp on landscapes across Australia since 1997. That experience shows up in the detail — from planning through to finish and handover.

For Brisbane homeowners, that means a team that treats a residential garden with the same discipline and quality control we bring to major commercial and civic projects.
