Loam soils are comprised of sand, silt, and clay particles. There are both coarse and fine loams. Fine loams have more silt and clay than sand. Coarse loams are mainly sand, which facilitates better drainage, but still contain enough silt and clay to hold moisture and nutrients and thereby support soil organisms. For this reason, coarse loams are considered some of the best soils to cultivate, with fine loams not far behind.

A specific class of soil texture that contains a balanced mixture of sand, silt and clay. Clay must not exceed 27 percent. Loams have enough sand to feel some grit and enough clay to give the soil some body, but the properties and behavior of the soil is dominated neither by sand nor clay.
