Moss Walls

Our moss walls resemble the lushest forests. By using high-quality preserved mosses, we replicate the depth, texture and color found throughout nature. Our expert designers and technicians craft pieces that are completely custom to your desires. Beyond their obvious biophilic aesthetic, moss walls help maintain healthy air quality and dampen sound. Do you need signage with extreme wow-factor? Are you looking for an alternative to commercial artwork? Moss walls are an all-around great solution for any space.

Living Fernature™

The fusion of nature and function. Living Fernature comes in two styles. The Biophilic Collection consists of live edge woods and rustic finishes, made both here in the North East or in partnership with a company that sources sustainable materials and ethical  labor in Indonesia. The Contemporary Customizable Collection welcomes you to be a part of the design process. Choose from numerous styles, sizes and finishes to craft a piece that fits your space perfectly. We provide service for commercial clients and curate plantings that will thrive in your space.

TransPLANTed

Fill every corner of your space with tasteful planters that complement our diverse selection of plants, or give new life to existing planters.

Exterior Landscapes

Cityscapes’ exterior designs transition and grow all year round. We outfit your planters with hardy wintergreens in the colder months, transitioning to spring blooms, then onto summer tropical foliage, and finally ending the year with the seasonal colors of autumn. Our exterior team consists of trained arborists, environmental scientists, and seasoned horticulturalists. We can maintain existing green spaces, or we can fill your patios and balconies to give your tenants and guests privacy and tranquility. We are fully knowledgeable of the plants we introduce, using plants of the highest quality and that are safe for pollinators.

Living Walls

Our living wall systems consist of metal frames that hold interchangeable containers and are mounted to your existing wall. With options for managing maintenance and light levels, we can craft a wall that thrives. The living wall maintenance team will check on your wall regularly, making sure the plants are adapting to your space appropriately. Our designers can outfit you with looks that range from subtle green textures, to seriously lush pops of color with unique foliage.

Testimonials

The best things about working at Cityscapes is the teamwork I experience daily, the relationships I have developed, and the fact that Cityscapes really cares about their employees. We also create an atmosphere together to improve our clients lives and our mission is to inspire and innovate with beautifully designed greenery.

Alex Masella, Employee 26 years / Service Representative

Managing one of Boston’s more iconic buildings is no small feat. The responsibility of up-keeping greenery that is as beautiful as the architecture around us is huge. Having Cityscapes come and design our planting beds and maintain our greenery inside and out, has made my life a breeze. I know I can count on them to perform up to my standards, while keeping everything fresh and innovative.

Brookview serves mothers and children experiencing a grueling and challenging circumstance–homelessness. Jan Goodman and her Cityscapes volunteers always lift our spirits, and make our days delightful and enjoyable.
