Arruda & sons is a landscaping business whose website describes landscaping, tree services, cleanups, mulch installation and snow removal across the South Coast. A recent customer said Steve evaluated their beds ahead of the July 4th holiday, gave multiple options and was responsive to questions. A recent customer in Hull said Steve and his team did a spring cleanup with ocean debris and stones from flooding, dug out and pruned two overgrown rose gardens, and hauled away branches and yard waste. A 2026 customer in Onset said that once their road was passable after a blizzard, Steve arrived within a couple of hours with his crew and cleared a heavy drift from their cobblestone driveway. A 2024 customer said Steve and his team did a bed cleanup, weed barrier install, mulch, tree and bush trimming and bed edging, and that he showed up on time and worked all day. A 2025 customer said they paid $2,600 in cash to have their front lawn resodded and flower beds mulched, saw no growth after four weeks except weeds, never received the promised receipt, and found Steven rude and condescending when they raised it. In a 2023 review, a customer said they had to find another landscaper to fix what 4 Friends Landscaping did.

Steve responded quickly to my request for an estimate, he was fair and upfront about pricing. He quickly got us on the schedule and did a fantastic job.
Exceptional work, great pricing, outstanding outcome and experience! I was in a pinch trying to get the yard to presentable before the July 4th holiday and time was not on my side. Reached out to Arruda & Sons and Steve not only met but he and his team exceeded our expectations. Evaluated our beds, gave us multiple options, and was responsive to our questions and feedback. The only person more pleased than me was my wife who had been telling me call Arruda & Sons for weeks! I certainly wont be hesitating the next time I have landscaping/hardscaping needs. Looking forward to recommending them to clients, friends, and neighbors. Thank you Steve! Thank you Arruda & Sons!
Steve & team did a great job cleaning, pruning, trimming shrubs & removing old mulch from my yard-highly recommend
I hired Steve and his team for a spring cleanup of my property in Hull. It was a big job, with lots of ocean debris and stones from flooding, plus two overgrown rose gardens that needed to be dug out and pruned. They used a power blower for the lawn and hauled away a lot of branches and yard waste. The property looks much cleaner and more manageable now. Good choice for a heavy-duty cleanup.
4friendslandscaping did a phenomenal job with snow removal in our Newport home. We got close to 3 ft of snow this last blizzard and they came through for us and cleared our driveway so we can access the house. I highly recommend them if you need snow removal in the Newport, RI area.
