Ann Kearsley Design (est. 1983) is a landscape architecture and urban design firm based in Portland, ME. We specialize in sustainable, ecologically based landscape design, linking landscape form and spatial structure to the dynamics of a site’s natural systems. We offer a full range of design services, from concept through construction administration, including master planning, site planning, landscape and urban design, storm water management and planting design, permitting, public process and municipal/planning board review. Our design philosophy is founded on a commitment to developing meaningful connections between people and the landscapes they inhabit. Thoughtful design is an opportunity to establish and maintain a positive and responsive relationship to our surroundings, whether rural countryside, suburban development or urban streetscapes. Each landscape is a singular expression of a site and its occupants, and of the incredible alchemy through which ideas find expression in physical form.
