House washing and driveway cleaning in Narara

What do Narara's homes and paths need after the farm years?

Narara's name traces to a local Aboriginal term for black snake. Narara was largely orchards and small mixed farms, and water from small dams off Narara Creek Road was once piped in wooden pipes across Narara Creek to supply steam trains at the railway station. Today the suburb is mostly residential, with parks, sporting grounds, two schools and the Central Coast Miniature Railway.

Its homes are mainly separate houses with room to spare: 44.6% had four or more bedrooms in 2021, and 11.8% were townhouses or semi-detached. A soft wash of the walls takes care of render, brick or cladding, and paths and driveways get pressure cleaning matched to concrete or pavers. Narara is also home to the Narara Ecovillage, and anyone weighing the environmental side of a clean can read what eco-friendly means here.
