Larkspur Design describes itself on Houzz as an ecological landscape design company serving Southern Maine, and its website lists South Portland, Biddeford, Portland and Cape Elizabeth as its service area. A recent Google customer chose Larkspur for a backyard landscaping project and says everything went on schedule and on budget, with the team setting up sprinklers on timers to water the new plants. A Google customer who worked with Larkspur for 18 months, from garden design to installation, says an all-lawn yard became plants and trees that attract birds and other pollinators. A 2025 Google reviewer described a full plan for gardens, trees, stone walkways, a wall and patios around a new farmhouse build in Harpswell, with Seana and Eva connecting them with stone work and landscaping companies they coordinated. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that the native plantings Larkspur designed for a community pocket park withstood the flooding from the major storms of January 2024. A 2025 Houzz reviewer who worked with Seana and Julie wrote that they were out thousands of dollars with a design that did not meet their project goals, and that a partial refund request was refused after a month. A 2025 Google reviewer called the design experience stressful and said the company would not break the project into smaller phases. A 2022 Google reviewer said a message left about a job was never returned.
“I had a good experience with Larkspur. Wanted to focus on things like sustainability, ease of maintenance, and being mindful to include local pollinator plants, etc. and they were great and really attentive.”
We chose Larkspur for our backyard landscaping project based on their philosophy of native and natural and we are thrilled with how it looks and are excited to see how things will grow in the coming years. From the start communication was prompt and straightforward, no question was too silly, everything went on schedule and on budget, and the team took care of setting up sprinklers on timers to water our new plants. The Larkspur team and the labor that they contract with really seem to love their jobs and the work that they’re doing and they brought really great energy to every interaction. We would highly recommend Larkspur for any design and landscaping project.
We worked with Larkspur over the past 18 months from garden design and conception to installation. They were a very knowledgeable and creative team, and responsive to our input while making great suggestions, and turning our sterile yard (all lawn) to a vibrant community of plants and trees that have been attracting a wide variety of birds and other pollinators. The beauty of their work is already giving us much joy!
We had an outstanding experience working with Seana, Eva and the rest of the Larkspur team on two major projects during the past several years. From design and planning to site preparation and installation, everyone involved in the process was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Although we relied on their expertise throughout, Seana and Eva thoughtfully and sincerely acknowledged all of our concerns and suggestions, which made the undertaking feel more like a collaboration. Critically, the installation crews were always prompt, skilled, pleasant-and meticulously clean! And finally, the transformation of our property at the hands of Larkspur Design has been stunning and exceeded our wildest expectations. We look forward to working with them again on future projects!
We engaged Larkspur for a full plan to complement our new farm house build in Harpswell. It was a blank slate in need of a plan for gardens, trees, stone walkways, a wall and patios. The plan Seana and Eva came up with was perfect. They solicited and incorporated our input around the design and plantings, were creative when we needed to break the project into phases, and connected us with stone work and landscaping companies who they coordinated throughout the project. They also made sure we were set up to ensure everything was well watered...consulting with us throughout and beyond the plantings. Seana and Eva are a real pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Larkspur!
