BRINGING NATURE INSIDE …

OCEANSIDE, Calif. –Preserved TreeScapes International has the perfect compromise between the beauty of nature and the tight constraints of any interior space. Preserved trees and plants are made from real plant materials.  They look astonishing alive because usually they once were. Preserved in a special solution, coupled with recycled bark for manufactured trunks, the end product is a tree almost indistinguishable from the living specimen.

The benefits of preserved trees and plants are substantial.  The up-front costs of installation are reduced.  Preserved trees and plants don't require water thus eliminating the need for special drainage and pluming systems to feed them.  No special lighting is required, allowing realistic plant foliage in places where it couldn't survive otherwise.  The annual costs associated with pest control, watering, pruning, and replacements of dead foliage are eliminated.  Installation is simple, plants and trees can be created to the exact specifications required, and low weight is perfect for placing foliage on upper floors where load can be a problem.  Preserved trees are also seismically engineered and fire retardant to meet demanding building codes. 

When bringing the beauty of nature indoors the choice is clear.  Preserved TreeScapes International turns your interiorscaping dreams into reality, on time and within budget.
