About us

We started with one idea: look at the soil first

Erin Gentry started Larkspur & Loam after too many lawn visits that left a bag on the porch and no answers. Nine of us on three trucks now do it differently.

Every yard gets a soil test, a program named for what the soil needs, and a card at the door that says what went on and when to stay off. We use OMRI Listed fertilizer and no synthetic fertilizers or herbicides, and we say so at the first visit rather than in the fine print.

  • A soil test before any product

  • A card at every visit, with the label's re-entry time

  • A written estimate you can read in one sitting
