Contractor Profile: Texas’ Dynamic Site Solutions Scales Up with JCB Teleskid Power
In the booming construction landscape of central Texas, companies that succeed are the ones that can adapt quickly. For Dynamic Site Solutions (DSS), a site prep and dirt work contractor based in Austin, Texas, agility isn’t just a competitive edge — it’s a business imperative. Operating in the limestone-laced, uneven terrains of the Texas Hill Country, DSS has built its reputation on tackling projects that many others find too complex or too constrained.
From its early days as a residential-focused team of fewer than 15 employees, the company has scaled rapidly. Today, DSS employs more than 70 people and manages a fleet of over 40 machines and 20 vehicles, while supplementing with rental units as needed. With projects ranging from luxury home foundations to large-scale commercial developments – including work on flagship tech campuses – Dynamic Site Solutions has found a way to grow smart in one of the country’s most challenging construction environments.
When Terrain and Tight Spaces Collide
Central Texas is notorious for its construction difficulties. The region’s soil composition shifts from soft clay to solid limestone with little warning, and many residential projects are perched on steep hillsides or nestled in tight suburban lots where access is limited.
These factors make site prep a logistical puzzle — one that demands equipment that can do more in less space. For DSS, one of the most impactful tools in its fleet has been the JCB 3TS-8T Teleskid. This compact track loader features a 74-hp engine and a telescopic boom that extends forward 8 feet and lifts more than 13 feet vertically. Its rated operating capacity of 3,695 pounds gives it the muscle to handle heavy-duty jobs in confined areas.
“We use the Teleskid constantly,” said Matt Hill, operations manager at DSS. “It’s one of those machines that solves problems before they even happen. The reach, the stability — it’s built for the kind of jobs we do every day.”
Installing limestone retaining walls is one of those everyday tasks. DSS frequently sets 2-by-2-by-5-ft blocks weighing up to 2,000 lbs, stacking them for structural support or erosion control. Before the Teleskid, that meant building temporary ramps to get standard skid steers close enough — a time-intensive and risk-prone workaround.
“With the 3TS, we can work from a safer distance and still place the block precisely,” Hill said. “We’re cutting out ramp building, reducing repositioning and saving time across the board.”
On average, DSS crews now place 15 to 30 blocks per day, depending on site conditions — numbers that were difficult to hit with standard equipment. The Teleskid also supports better sequencing during backfill operations, allowing teams to leave intentional voids and fill more efficiently once blocks are set. The increased efficiency has become a standard part of their workflow — and a competitive differentiator on both residential and commercial projects.
Let’s take a look at the smallest mini excavators on the market.
Scaling With Smarter Tools
The benefits of the 3TS extend well beyond limestone walls. On a recent job at a high-profile tech campus, DSS was subcontracted to perform backfill around chilled water lines, condensate lines, and ducts integral to the HVAC installation. The challenge? The system was tucked behind a structure that had already gone vertical, leaving no clear access route for standard equipment. Additionally, some of the trenches were 4-ft wide and crews would not have been able to access or successfully place backfill with a traditional compact loader.
“Our crew needed to get material behind the building, but there were obstructions everywhere,” Hill said. “We were out of options — the backup plan was wheelbarrows and laborers.”
Instead, the team turned to the JCB 3TS. Thanks to its telescopic reach and compact frame, the machine was able to access the tight space and perform the backfill efficiently. What would have taken a full week with two to three laborers was completed in just two days by a single operator.
“That job really highlighted the Teleskid’s value,” Hill said. “It didn’t just save us time — it saved us labor, improved safety and helped us hit a tight schedule.”
Keeping a machine like the 3TS performing under pressure requires more than just engineering — it takes reliable support. That’s where BOSS JCB comes in. As DSS’s trusted dealer, the team at BOSS JCB ensures the machines are not only delivered but maintained with the responsiveness today’s fast-paced jobs demand.
“Justice and Jordan at BOSS JCB have been great,” Hill said. “Communication is everything in this business. When you’ve got machines working daily, fast support makes a real difference.”
Laying the Groundwork for Continued Growth
As Dynamic Site Solutions continues to expand in both the residential and commercial markets, its success hinges not just on the number of machines it owns, but the strategy behind how those machines are chosen and used.
“We’re loyal to what works,” Hill said. “The Teleskid works.”
From hillside homes to multimillion-dollar corporate builds, DSS has proven that investing in the right tools not only improves performance – it accelerates growth. With smart planning, strategic partnerships and versatile equipment, the company is paving the way for a new standard in compact construction.
