Berowra's Best Backyards: Where the BBQ is Always Hot (Unlike Your Neighbour's 'Secret' Marinade)
Let's talk about the great Aussie backyard dream. You know the one – where the kids can actually run around without clotheslining themselves on the washing line, where your dog has more room to zoom than a postage stamp-sized patch of grass, and where your BBQ doesn't have to double as a balcony decoration.
Here in Berowra, we don't just do backyards – we perfect them.
No sad, Sydney-style "outdoor spaces" that are really just a place to store your bins.
Nah, we're talking proper, sprawling, liveable backyards where the only thing tighter than your grill skills is the community vibe.
And speaking of community, we can't forget Karen from Berowra Heights – you know, the one whose Christmas lights display puts the entire street to shame (and whose snags are somehow always perfectly cooked).
Karen knows a thing or two about great backyards, and we reckon she'd approve of the stunners we've got on our current listings right now.
So, grab a snag in bread (sauce optional but strongly encouraged), and let's explore the types of backyards that make Berowra the place to be.
The Entertainer's Paradise
Picture this: It's a lazy Sunday afternoon, the sun's out, the esky's full, and your backyard is basically a VIP lounge for your nearest and dearest.
This is the kind of space where the BBQ is the centrepiece, the deck is big enough for a spontaneous dance-off, and the only "strife" in your life is deciding whether to fire up the pizza oven or the smoker.
This deck isn’t just steel and screws – it’s a front-row seat to the Berowra lifestyle.
The Kids' Kingdom
If your idea of a backyard is less a "manicured oasis" and more an "obstacle course of toys, trampolines, and half-built cubby houses," then welcome to paradise.
These are the yards where grass is optional, but imagination is mandatory.
The kids will be in heaven, and you'll be too (once you realise you can finally stop vacuuming sand out of the carpet).
The Bushland Retreat
For those who dream of a backyard where the only neighbours are kookaburras and the occasional curious Lyrebird.
It's less "lawn" and more "wilderness escape," with the kind of views that'll make your city friends weep into their tiny balcony herb gardens.
Just remember: the bush turkeys will eat your plants. Consider it their rent.
The Low-Maintenance Oasis
Not everyone wants to spend their weekends wrestling a lawnmower or negotiating with weeds. And that's okay!
Astroturf? Check.
Built-in irrigation? Check.
Enough time to actually enjoy your weekends? Priceless.
The Fixer-Upper's Dream
Ah, the backyard with potential.
Translation: It's currently equal parts jungle, construction site, and mystery (what is that vine, and why is it indestructible?).
But for the right person – the Bunnings loyalist, the DIY daredevil – is where the magic happens.
Just don't blame us when you find yourself at the hardware store again, muttering something about "just one more project."
Want to start from scratch? Check out this blank canvas of bushland perfection – your chance to build a backyard (and a home) exactly how Karen would approve.
The Verdict
At the end of the day, a great backyard isn't just about square metres – it's about the life it gives you.
Whether you're after a space to entertain, a playground for the kids, a bushland escape, or something you can make your own, Berowra's got you covered.
And if you need proof, just ask Karen from Berowra Heights – though good luck getting a word in between her tips on perfect snags and her award-winning hydrangeas.

(And if you do find a marinade that beats Dave's, keep it to yourself. Some things are better left a mystery.)
