A well-kept lawn gives a house back its welcome — somewhere to sit out a long blue evening, somewhere the kids drop their bikes without thinking twice about it. Ferreira Landscaping keeps lawns that way in Newport, where the grass comes in thick and salt-fed on Aquidneck Island and the southwest wind off Narragansett Bay never quite stops combing it. The work is mowing, edging, trimming, and seasonal cleanups: stripes laid straight across a dooryard, a clean line held tight along the granite curb, walks blown bare so nothing gets tracked inside. Come October the mowing gives way to hauling off everything the maples let go, and the yard heads into the cold looking tended rather than left. On streets that tilt down toward the harbor, that care is the first thing anyone notices.
