What a Clayfield garden actually asks for
Clayfield has some of the inner north's most substantial housing stock, and the gardens are expected to match it. The standard here is not 'tidy' — it is a garden that reads as considered from the street and resolved at the back.
Formal structure works well on these blocks. Clipped hedging, symmetrical planting, natural stone and properly detailed paving suit the architecture in a way that informal tropical planting often does not.
Established trees are frequently significant, both to the garden and to the streetscape. Designing around them, rather than through them, is usually the right call and occasionally a regulated one.
No two gardens the same
Designed for this block, not copied from the last one
A substantial house deserves a garden designed for it, not one repeated from the street over. Duncan reads the architecture first and lets it set the formality, the materials and the planting.
Because he builds what he draws, the details that carry a formal garden — the line of a hedge, the joint in the paving, the light on a stone wall — are set out by the person who designed them.
Budget
Before you call
This is design-led landscape construction, not a mowing round. There is no list price, because no two gardens are the same job — but the process is built so you know the number before you commit.
01
Budget first
Tell Duncan what you are comfortable investing. It is the fastest route to a concept that is actually buildable, and it is why he asks before he draws.
02
Then a concept
A unique landscape concept sketched on paper, with costings and an approximate time frame in writing. You see the garden and the number together.
03
Then you decide
Build only if you are happy with the paper. The work can be staged — plenty of gardens start as one wall, one path or one planted bed.

Questions
Landscaping in Clayfield
Yes. Clayfield is inside the area Simply Intreeging covers — Dayboro, Samford, Moreton Bay and across Brisbane's inner north. Duncan is based in Dayboro and travels for design and construction work. If you are not certain you are in range, call 0431 024 000 and ask.
That is the starting point. The design takes its cues from the house — its age, materials and proportions — so the garden reads as part of it. Some Clayfield streets carry character overlays; those are checked before anything is finalised.
There is no list price, because no two gardens are the same job. After the on-site consultation you receive a concept with costings and an approximate time frame in writing, before you commit to anything. Tell Duncan the budget you are comfortable with and the concept is designed to it — and the work can be staged.
Duncan Scott. The person who designs the garden is the person who builds it — not a salesperson, and not a subcontractor you have never met. He has been building gardens in south-east Queensland since 2000, and holds a Queensland builder licence for structural landscaping (1161156).
