The Corporate 500 campus consists of four buildings. When visitors and tenants arrive at the campus, they are greeted by a seasonal color display that is changed out four times per year. Shade trees are pruned to provide unobstructed views for tenants inside. The Dwarf Ninebark are hand pruned to keep their natural effect to complement the ornamental grass behind them.

The yellow Liguria provides a splash of contrasting color against the reflective glass building. When they have finished flowering, the client prefers that the blooms be removed by hand pruning so as not to detract from the natural beauty of the plant.

Texture and color are amplified by the reflective glass. In spring, Crabapple trees receive fungicide and insecticide treatments to control apple scab and various leaf eating insects.

The drives and walkways are heavily salted by the owners during snow removal season, which creates challenges with the perennials, roses and annuals in the center islands and the turf grass edges. Pine boughs and winter fencing are installed late in the fall season to protect the plantings. Trees that are stressed due to reflective light off the building are root fertilized in fall to promote their health.

The cafeteria inside the facility overlooks this patio which is used for numerous outdoor activities and tenant events. Debris pick up and leaf removal especially in fall presents a challenge.

Two of the four buildings have outdoor patios with very comfortable seating and an area to barbecue. Tables, chairs and hard surfaces are cleaned daily. Patio seating is wiped of excess moisture during rainy periods to encourage use.

When summer blooms fade, Chrysanthemums are planted in all the annual beds for continued color. Plantings against the building and in the island receive a lot of reflective heat, which often encourages perennials to regrow once they are cut down for the season.

Many of the smaller turf grass areas that were killed year after year due to winter salting operations have been converted to perennials that tolerate much of the salt as seen with the Allium.

Two of the four buildings have sunken gardens at the basement level that receive little to no direct sunlight. A small café and lounge have views into these areas. Access is very difficult due to a steep decline. Plantings along the windows are kept low to allow visibility from inside as the bottom of the window sits 4-feet off the floor.

The south entry drive monument sign bed is framed with a large bed of color throughout the year. Tulips, annuals, chrysanthemums, and winter décor are added to all annual beds on site. Holiday trees and lighting are installed each November for added interest.

Two concrete retaining ponds have fountains installed each spring which give an added dimension to the entrances. The ponds receive algicide and dye treatments to control algae and weeds.

The monument sign is highlighted with ornamental grasses and annuals. Grates on the retaining pond are cleaned weekly, so water levels do not rise and erode the shoreline. Muskrats are a concern on occasion as they dig out the shore line. They are captured and moved by a licensed trapper to a more rural home.
