How do we do this?

Interior Plantscapes

Indoor plants and interior gardens have been the core of Cityscapes since our start in 1992. This service has grown to incorporate far more than just plants in pots. Bring the outdoors in. We offer a range of products from dynamic arrangements to full planting beds.

Exterior Landscapes

Transform your building’s exterior with a landscape design that resonates and inspires. Boost your curb appeal, or make sure your courtyard oasis is perfect. Our designs can be seen throughout Boston, on the street, rooftops, patios and more. We will make your greenspace a Boston destination.

Living Walls

Incorporate the hottest biophilic design element into your space. Living walls are vertical gardens that can fit almost any existing wall or column and support a variety of plants. Living Walls maintain healthy air quality and humidity levels while delivering the stunning visual impact.

Moss Walls

Preserved moss walls are perfect for those who want to bring life to their space but do not have the light levels or accessibility for a living wall. These extremely versatile products can range in shape, scale and color. Match a logo, fill existing architecture, hang interchangeable frames and so much more.

Living Fernature™

Fully integrate nature into your interior design. Living Fernature TM is the fusion of nature and function. Choose from organic woods, to contemporary metals. We offer customizable options to fit your existing space. Commit to the benefits of biophilic design in every way possible.

Holiday Décor

Make sure your space reflects the magic and sentiment of the holidays. From transforming your lobby into a winter wonderland, to outfitting your outdoor spaces with live wreaths. Keep it clean and contemporary, embrace nostalgia or let us match your current interior décor.

TransPLANTed

The community of Boston has helped Cityscapes become a successful business and we are always looking for ways to give back. The TransPLANTed Roaming Greenhouse is our way of making plants accessible to the community while raising money for local and international charities.

We set ourselves apart from other vendors not only in our unique plantscape designs but also in reducing our carbon footprint and therefore reducing yours.

  • Collaborate directly with architects and designers to integrate sustainable design solutions from project conception
  • Use native plant species in our permanent exterior planting designs

  • Utilize similar water sensors on many interior projects with irrigation systems to avoid over-watering
  • Hand-water most interior and exterior plant sites to avoid water loss from irrigation systems

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. Whether they are working with the moms and kids making crafts and decorations for holidays, planting a vegetable garden, or doing exterior landscaping–their creativity elicits laughter, brings joy to our hearts, and welcomes us home. We always look forward to spending time with the Cityscapes team.

Deborah Hughes, CEO / Brookview
