I am planning to buy a house in Chapel Hill and move in this summer.
Does anyone know of a local source for Red Maple trees that are at
least four feet tall? I want to plant as many as I can.

You might try Red Mill Nursery on Red Mill Road in Durham.

Unsure if Japanese Maples qualify in your search, but if so, check out:

And a word of caution: planting these trees in summer time is risky, and
will require large amounts of watering, I imagine.

I have no idea! I do know that planting trees in the summer heat
of the Piedmont is an ill-advisied move. Taking a quote from the Virginia
Department of Forestry web page
(http://www.dof.virginia.gov/mgt/how-to-plant.shtml):

When to Plant Trees

The climate of your area is a major factor when determining the
appropriate planting time. Newly planted trees do best when exposed to
moderate temperature and rainfall; they need time to root and acclimatize
before the weather extremes of summer or winter. Therefore, Spring and
early Fall are generally the best planting seasons (depending on your
location). In the southern United States, which do not experience an
intense winter, planting can take place during the winter months.

Best time to plant is in the Fall- say October

If you need large numbers of Red Maples, try the NC Division of Forest
