History
DB Bobcat Services was started in Lacombe in 1987 by Danny Beach, with just one Truck and a Bobcat, DB offered a service that was high in demand and the business grew year after year.
First, the office was at Danny's home, while the equipment was stored at an old industrial Quonset in Lacombe. Most work came through referrals from satisfied customers and the signs on the easy recognizable blue trucks.
In 2002, DB Bobcat Services expanded into a new shop and office building in the Wolf Creek industrial sub-division in Lacombe. With over 10,000 sq. ft. of shop and office space, this was a big step forward for the company.
