Excavation Company Helps Develop Texas, One Site at a Time

Envirotec Construction Services (ECS), based in Argyle, Texas, has been a cornerstone of the state’s construction industry since 1997. Founded by Tom VanVickle, ECS has grown from a small operation into a major player in large-scale excavation and site preparation, specializing in residential and commercial development, demolition, grading, and stormwater control.  

Today, the company manages projects across a wide swath of North Texas, from McKinney to Dallas and as far north as Sanger. According to Robert Satterfield, an operations field manager, the company takes great pride in helping advance the infrastructure of the region. 

“Any street we drive on, it’s very likely that we’ve had machines there with our guys working hard,” he says. 

Bobcat Equipment as the Backbone of the Operation 

Bobcat equipment plays a critical role in ECS’ day-to-day operations. Their fleet includes a wide range of compact equipment, from the nimble Bobcat® MT100 mini track loaders for tight spaces to the powerful R-Series T66 and T770 loaders for larger jobs.  

They also rely on Bobcat compact excavators for precise digging and site prep. 

“The versatility of Bobcat equipment is unmatched,” Robert says. “It allows us to tackle both large-scale commercial work and smaller residential projects without missing a beat.” 

ECS’ commitment to versatility is evident in their choice of attachments. Their arsenal includes pallet forks, land planes, vibratory rollers and street sweepers, allowing them to handle everything from fine grading to heavy material transport.  

Reliable Support from Bobcat of North Texas

A critical part of ECS’s success has been the support of Bobcat of North Texas, their trusted equipment dealer.  

“They’ve been with us from the start,” Robert says. “Whether it’s getting us the latest R-Series machines during a tight supply chain crunch or providing over-the-phone diagnostics, their support has been phenomenal.” 

The dealership’s service extends beyond just selling machines. With a deep understanding of ECS’ operational needs, their dealer helps keep projects moving by ensuring equipment is always ready for the next job. 

A Team Built on Integrity and Results 

For ECS, the quality of their work is as important as the equipment they use. Their commitment to doing the job right the first time has earned them a reputation for reliability in the competitive Texas construction market. “There is no gray area,” Robert says. “We either did our job right, or we didn’t do it at all.”
