Noble Garden Design

Noble Garden Design is a Weymouth landscape design-build firm run by John Noble, who the company says has 40+ years of experience in the trade; it takes on patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, land clearing and planting projects start to finish, but its own site is explicit that it does not do lawn maintenance, mowing, spring or fall cleanups, fertilizer, or repairs — this is a design-and-build shop, not a lawn-care service. Every written review on record, from 2018 through late 2025, is positive, and the same thread runs through nearly all of them: homeowners hired John for a design problem, and he solved it in a way they didn't expect. A 2023 review described a large hill that needed leveling for a flat yard — every other contractor they contacted proposed building two tall retaining walls, but Noble instead used the ledge drilled out of the hill to build a natural-stone rockery, delivering the flat yard along with more privacy and a less conventional look. Another 2023 review described a full backyard rebuild in a single project — over a hundred plants and shrubs, two brick walkways, a new driveway, a patio, and lighting. A 2023 review from a Braintree hospice described a peace garden designed, built, and finished on schedule; a 2022 review described turning an unused shed area into a patio and garden space that drew compliments from neighbors. The platform numbers back this up: 5★ from 27 Google ratings, an A+ accredited BBB grade, and an Angi Approved badge, though Houzz shows a somewhat lower 4.5★ across 6 ratings, with communication scored a bit below work quality and value. The BBB and Houzz both list a self-reported home improvement contractor registration number for the company, though it hasn't been independently verified against the state registry. The main thing to know going in: this firm designs and installs — for ongoing lawn care, mowing, or seasonal cleanups, you'll need someone else.
