A bed edged clean along a Middletown driveway, the mulch dark and level, the perennials set where the morning sun finds them first — that is the finish Rafas Landscaping likes to leave behind. Their work is landscaping and lawn care on Aquidneck Island, where salt air drifts up from Sachuest and the light falls on a mowed yard in a way it never quite does inland. They plant seasonal color and perennials for the weeks ahead as much as the afternoon, shape outdoor living space around how a family actually uses it, and keep the maintenance steady so the whole property reads as one continuous idea. Out past the stone walls and hedgerows toward Paradise Valley, a tended yard holds its shape month after month, and that satisfaction is plain from the road.
