We at Dolloff are a team of like minded individuals that have a common goal of giving customers creative and high quality landscaping at a fair price. Dolloff Landscaping has the roots established to provide you with a great landscape. Our goal is to provide the best installation and quality service. We take pride in working on your yard as if it were our own. Take pride in Dolloff, because we take pride in your land.
"Mr. Dolloff was prompt in his response to our inquiry into landscaping projects we were considering. He gave us a free estimate on several projects. The cost seemed very fair and we had him complete a quarter of the entire project ~ grooming a hillside with severe erosion and creating a parking area for 2 cars. The hillside is beautiful. Exactly what we wanted and better than we expected. The parking area was not what I would call satisfactory. But in all honesty, they completed both jobs on time but unfortunately it was just the day before we got all that heavy rain the weekend of October 21st. We are planning for him to complete the other landscaping we need down and he offered to clean up the parking area as soon as the weather settles down."

"I recently had my driveway paved as well as the secondary driveway treated with gravel and compacting. The contractor was JY Paving- [*** Link removed ***] I was looking for a vendor and had a couple of suggestions from people I trusted. Only one of those entities bothered to come to my house and give me a quote. Then they told me they couldn't do it until next year. So I called a couple of others after doing an internet search and Jim Young was the only one who responded to me. He came to my house where we defined the scope and he gave me a quote. I later expanded the scope and he immediately followed up with the additional, reasonable costs. I thought his quote was more than fair, so I elected to take a chance and trust him. He showed up at my house as promised with all the equipment, paving materials, gravel and personnel required to cover my scope of work. Jim was out there operating the paver and roller and when he wasn't on one of those, he had a shovel or a rake in his hand and was trimming up the sides. Whenever I asked for a tweak here and there, he immediately tended to the issue with a smile on his face, no questions asked. At the end of the day, I had what I felt like was a beautiful primary driveway and secondary driveway. I was very happy to hand him a check reflecting the full amount of the work he and his crew had performed. When you have the owner of a company in the field operating equipment and manning shovels and rakes, you not only get a good product but you get excellent value because he's not paying a foreman to run his operation. I couldn't recommend JY Paving any more highly. He was very pleasant to deal with and offered me a great value."

N. Mass & New Hampshire=Pressure washing, power washing, hot water soft washing--low pressure and high volume water supply, which prevents damage to your property. This is a hot water supply which cleans better than just a cold water supply. Environmentally safe cleaning process. Landscaping around the property rinsed before and after the washing process. Also available to wash decks, sidewalks, driveways, etc. Professional painting & staining services also available. 25 years experience in southern New Hampshire & northern Massachusetts. Always free quotes, most in person. Fully insured.
"These guys did a great job. Our deck has a lot of railings and posts, and it is a bit of a pain to power wash; but they cleaned it down to the last rail. They even did the grill cover and mat. They also got rid of all the tree sap and drippings on the fencing. They were a couple of minutes late because they got caught up in rush hour traffic, but they made up for it by power washing some things that were not included in the original estimate at no additional charge. Their pricing was competitive with all the other estimates I got. Definitely recommend."

The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.
One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.
Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
