Artificial Maple Trees for Commercial Spaces

International Greenscapes

Custom artificial trees

Artificial Trees & Plants Made in America

Real maples are deciduous, shedding their leaves every fall and standing bare through winter. A fabricated maple holds its foliage year-round, with no leaf drop, no dormant season, and no maintenance. International Greenscapes hand-sculpts custom maple trees in any seasonal color for lobbies, restaurants, atriums, and commercial interiors.

Over 100 years of combined botanical fabrication experience across three American studios.

How We Build Maple Trees

International Greenscapes fabricates artificial maple trees through two primary construction methods, depending on the environment, scale, and design goals of your project.

Both methods are available in Japanese maple and red maple varieties, with custom color palettes and canopy densities tailored to your space.

Steel Art Trees™ by NATUREMAKER®

Custom fabricated from modest accent trees up to 50+ feet. Canopy spans up to 40-50 feet.

Fully Fabricated Trees by TREESCAPES®

Scalable to your specifications. Standardized designs available for multi-location rollouts.

Where Artificial Maple Trees Work

Hotel Lobbies and Atriums

Maple’s graceful symmetry and layered canopy create an inviting, warm arrival experience. Year-round autumn tones add richness without seasonal gaps.

Restaurants and Dining Rooms

A maple canopy overhead adds intimacy and vertical interest to dining environments, functioning as both focal point and spatial divider.

Corporate Headquarters

Clean branching lines and warm foliage tones soften modern architecture without competing with it.

Healthcare and Wellness

Natural-looking deciduous trees contribute to calming, restorative environments where biophilic design improves patient and visitor comfort.

Casinos and Entertainment Venues

Maple works well as both a permanent statement piece and a Treelusions® seasonal element, shifting from summer green to autumn orange between events.

Museums and Cultural Institutions

Sculptural maple forms serve as architectural centerpieces in atriums and exhibit halls. Interactive configurations with walkways and platforms are possible at monumental scales.

Why Fabricated Maple Over Living Trees

Year-Round Foliage

No leaf drop, no bare winter branches. Specify the season you want and keep it permanently: spring green, full summer canopy, or peak autumn color.

Zero Horticultural Maintenance

No watering, fertilizer, pruning, pesticides, or specialized grow lighting. Occasional dusting is all that’s needed.

Fire Code Compliance

Available with Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) foliage that meets ASTM E84 Class A and NFPA 701 standards, required for most commercial and public assembly spaces.

Consistent Beauty for Decades

Colorfast finishes resist fading. Materials will not rot, decay, or decompose. Our trees are engineered to maintain their original appearance for decades with minimal upkeep.

Total Cost Savings

Eliminates irrigation systems, grow lighting, maintenance contracts, plant replacement, and pest control. Most commercial projects achieve break-even against living plants within 3-5 years.

No Allergens, Mold, or Pests

RoHS compliant (non-toxic, non-allergenic). No soil means no mold growth and no insect habitat.

Maple Varieties We Fabricate

International Greenscapes can replicate virtually any maple species, but two varieties account for most commercial requests.

Our artisans study each species’ growth habits, bark characteristics, and branching patterns, then hand-carve bark textures from molds taken from real maple specimens. Foliage is placed following the natural arrangement patterns of the living tree, with multiple translucent finish layers that create depth and realistic variation under different lighting conditions.

Custom color palettes, canopy densities, and hybrid interpretations are all available. If you need a specific look that does not fit neatly into Japanese or red maple, our team can create it.

Japanese Maple

Delicate, deeply lobed leaves with fine branching structure. Known for layered, open canopies that filter light. Often specified in autumn red, burgundy, or orange tones. Works well as a feature tree in intimate spaces, restaurants, and wellness environments where refinement and visual lightness are priorities.

Red Maple

Broader leaves and a fuller, more rounded canopy shape. Strong vertical trunk with bold branching. Commonly chosen for lobbies, atriums, and large-scale environments that need presence and density. Available in green summer foliage or the vivid scarlet and orange that makes this species iconic in fall.

Safety and Code Compliance

Every International Greenscapes artificial maple tree can be specified with materials that meet or exceed commercial building codes.

All foliage uses Inherently Fire Retardant (IFR) polymers where fire-retardant chemicals are mixed directly into the resin before molding. This makes fire protection integral and permanent; it cannot wash off, wear away, or degrade over time.

Steel-Core Engineering and Load Capacity

NATUREMAKER™ fabricated cat trees are built with the same steel-core engineering used across our commercial custom tree program.

These structures are designed for environments where animal weight, repeated climbing activity, and long-term public exposure all require real structural performance.

Our Process

From Concept to Finished Tree

  • Initial consultation (complimentary)

    Contact us with your project vision, sketches, architectural drawings, or even a rough idea. We will discuss species options, scale, and configuration.

  • Design development

    Our team creates professional renderings showing the maple tree in your space, with options for species variety, canopy density, trunk configuration, and foliage color. As many iterations as needed until you are satisfied.

  • Engineering and documentation

    For complex or large-scale projects, we provide structural calculations, seismic compliance verification, load analysis, and code compliance documentation for your building department.

  • Proposal

    You receive a detailed proposal covering scope, specifications, production timeline, assembly schedule, and total investment. No hidden fees.

  • Fabrication

    Your tree is built at our American studios in San Marcos, CA (San Diego Area); Las Vegas, NV; or Miami, FL. Certified welders fabricate the armature. Artisan sculptors hand-carve bark textures. Scenic artists apply polychromatic finishing glazes.

  • On-site assembly

    Our professional assembly crews deliver, anchor, finish, and dress your tree on-site. Quality verification walkthrough included, with minimal disruption to your operations.
