Charles Nelson started his company, Stepping Stone Landscaping in Henrico, Va., five years ago. Two years later, he started utilizing GPS tracking technology. As a result, he has seen a reduction in manhours – and a level of employee accountability most landscape companies can only dream of.
The GPS tracking solution Nelson uses has broad functionality. He likes to focus on truck location and time tracking, along with a variety of vehicle performance data.
“The peace of mind and added efficiency have become invaluable to me.”

Brad Rose Landscaping is the definition of a family business. Company co-owner and Vice President Stephanie Leonard; her father, Brad, who started the company; and husband, Eric, work for the company and because of remote learning, Leonard’s two daughters, ages 11 and 12, are at the office when they aren’t at school.
The 9-month-old daughter of the company’s office manager has been coming to office since she was 3 months old because daycare isn’t an option due to COVID-19. Oh, and the Leonard’s Rottweiler, Apollo, clocks in a few days a week at the Rensselaer, New York-based company.
