Clontarf sits at the southern end of the Redcliffe Peninsula, where the Houghton Highway crosses Bramble Bay, and it has one of the peninsula's main light-industrial areas. We maintain grounds for Clontarf workshops, warehouses, trade businesses and commercial sites, covering verges, frontages, car parks and fence lines.
Being close to the water brings its own challenges: salty, windy conditions, sandy soils in places, and plants and fences that need to cope with coastal exposure.
Industrial and commercial sites in Clontarf
Clontarf's industrial area is made up of small to medium sites: workshops, trade suppliers, marine and automotive businesses, and strata business units. Grounds are usually frontage gardens, verges, car park islands and side strips.
The rest of the suburb is residential, with homes along the foreshore and in the streets behind, so industrial sites that border homes need tidy, well-screened boundaries.

Anzac Avenue connects Clontarf to Kallangur, Mango Hill and the rest of the peninsula, and the Houghton Highway and Ted Smout Memorial Bridge link it across the water to Brighton and Brisbane. The foreshore and bay are right on the doorstep.

Common grounds issues in Clontarf
The problems we see most on Clontarf sites:
Coastal exposure
Salt and wind stress plants and speed up corrosion on fences and fittings.
Sandy, fast-draining soil
Gardens dry out quickly, so mulch and well-set irrigation matter.
Weeds in hardstand and gravel
Grassy weeds fill cracks, kerbs and gravel yards through summer.
Compact sites
Small frontages and busy car parks need neat, careful work around vehicles and customers.
Plants and fencing that suit the coast
Near the water, the right plant choice makes a big difference. Hardy coastal and native plants, a good layer of mulch and drip irrigation keep frontage gardens looking healthy through dry, windy spells without constant replanting.
For fencing, coastal conditions are harder on steel. When we quote Colorbond or security fencing for Clontarf sites, we talk through the options suited to a coastal location.
Salt and wind also dry out lawns faster than further inland. Mowing at a slightly higher height, feeding in spring and autumn, and watering early in the morning helps keep verges and frontage lawns green through dry spells. Where a lawn keeps struggling in the sandy soil, top dressing with a better soil mix builds it back up over a season or two.
