Shea Blvd Cure Corridor Healthcare Landscaping

Patients first, landscapes second (but close)

Also known as: Cure Corridor, Shea corridor

Doctors here cure a lot of things. Overgrown oleanders are our department.

AZ Big Media described the corridor in 2020 as stretching loosely from the Scottsdale Airpark to SkySong, with a directory of 52 companies. HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center, at 9003 E. Shea Blvd., has 434 beds, and Mayo Clinic's Scottsdale campus on East Shea opened in 1987. Around them sit medical office buildings, surgery centers and clinics, many on shared lots with shared irrigation. Healthcare is a big employer here: the same article counted about 33,000 healthcare jobs in Scottsdale.

Healthcare sites need a different kind of tidy. Walkways must stay clear for wheelchairs and walkers, and branches must not hang low over drop-off lanes. Sprinklers should never soak an entry at 8 a.m. We schedule loud work away from peak appointment times when we can, keep trip hazards like loose rock off sidewalks, and check that irrigation spray stays in the beds. Many medical owners use vendor portals, and we're set up with NetVendor, VendorCafe, RealPage and Coupa.

Shea Boulevard is a long drive from one end to the other, so we group visits by area and plan routes rather than promising a quick dash from Mesa. When something can't wait, like a broken line flooding a parking lot outside a clinic, our 24/7 emergency line reaches a live person, any hour. For campus-style sites we can also handle tree work, lighting checks and small exterior projects so you have fewer vendors to manage. Fewer vendors means fewer badges at the front desk, which the front desk tends to appreciate.
