Services
Reimagining a new backyard or landscape without support can feel overwhelming and daunting. Much like climbing a mountain alone. Noble Root will guide you through the entire process from the initial consultation through design to installation. We strive to make your experience easy, enjoyable and fun.
Landscape Design
Backyards often become multi-purpose extensions of the home – a gathering space for entertaining, a place to work, a creative sanctuary for peace and quiet, a place to grow food and provide habitat for wildlife, and a nourishing retreat for body and mind.
Noble Root listens carefully to understand your goals, design preferences, and how you intend to use your yard and garden areas. We consider elements like sunlight, existing shade structures, and the ideal flow of people (and pets!). Then we develop a design unique to your home, yard, and lifestyle.
Raised Bed Garden Design
We are here to help you design, build, and grow the kitchen garden of your dreams. Noble Root specializes in designing raised bed kitchen gardens that blend style and function to make the most of your space. We believe raised bed gardens can be as attractive as they are useful.
Did you know trellis structures significantly increase the amount of produce that can be grown in a garden and add visual appeal? This is just one of many design elements to consider.
During our consultation, we will explore your yard to determine the best location and discuss growing essentials like sun, soil, nutrients, and water. We’ll help you choose from a variety of materials for raised beds, pathways, and trellises that add visual appeal and interest to your home. Learn more.
Private Garden Coaching
Become the green thumb gardener you never thought possible with one-on-one garden coaching! Garden coaching sessions are hands-on learning experiences held in the privacy of your own garden and tailored specifically to your goals. Some clients are eager to learn how to care for their existing landscape while others want better results with growing food.
Sessions may include how to propagate, prune, transplant, and harvest edible greens, roots, and flowers. You’ll also learn techniques to increase your yields and extend your harvests.
Everyone can grow their green thumb with guidance! Our hands-on garden coaching will set you up for success.
Garden Concierge Services
Selecting and buying plants and materials for your garden can be fun. It can also be overwhelming, time-consuming, and challenging, especially when looking for specific plants.
Noble Root will hand-select all the plants and materials needed to implement your design and deliver them right to your doorstep. Plant placement and planting follow for full-service installations. This is also a fabulous service for gardeners who want to do the planting with professional guidance - just pair this service with Garden Coaching to receive plant placement directions and best practices in planting.
Life is busy. We provide support so that you can spend more time enjoying your garden.

Raised Bed Renovation &
3-Season Planting Plans
If you have an existing raised bed garden but haven’t gotten the results you’ve hoped for, we can help. We will troubleshoot your challenges and develop a plan to improve your raised bed garden so that you can successfully grow plants and harvest this season.
You can also enjoy the benefits of a custom, seasonal, kitchen garden planting plan created just for your space and tailored to your garden goals. Noble Root uses intensive planting techniques to maximize results in compact spaces, improve aesthetics, reduce time spent weeding, and create the conditions for frequent and regular harvests.
We are fortunate to have three distinct growing seasons in the Pacific Northwest. We can help you make the most of them.

“Nicole is so incredibly knowledgeable and talented! My family and I feel empowered in our garden growing food thanks to not only Nicole’s garden renovation and kitchen garden installation, but her coaching! She didn’t just come and create a truly beautiful garden, she taught us how to grow and we are so grateful!
