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."

"Despite the weather, it was cold, rainy and snow on the ground, the three people that worked here today kept working. I questioned whether today would be a good day to get all the leaves but I was assured if not today, they would be back for the rest. I would say 95% of the leaves were picked up and the remaining leaves are under snow. I don't know how they did it. All were very pleasant and worked hard. I don't usually leave reviews, but just had to today. We've had this company here for yard cleanup three years in a row now ... Will see you again next year. ... Thank you very much!"

Burke’s Tree Service has been a New Hampshire institution since 1983. Our family owned and operated business originally started as a lawn service company, a part time job for Richard Burke, our original owner. Richard soon realized that trimming trees was a service that was poised to grow while there were many other companies cutting lawns. He switched the focus of the business over to tree services, and over the years, we’ve grown by leaps and bounds.

MAA certified arborist, License no - 2209.

"During the planning to replace a summer cottage, someone had suggested that a nearby - hundreds or years old -enormous Pine tree be taken down before the cottage was replaced to avoid a much higher price if we waited until after the new cottage was built. I called and spoke with Micum of Cornerstone Tree Care. I had gotten his name from Angie's list. He had very good reviews and I particularly liked that one review said that he mentioned that a tree was healthy and he did not see the need to cut it down. I felt this was a good sign that he was not just looking for "the next job". As our tree is a "fixture" on the property and we were already going to need to take down many other trees, we really wanted to keep the tree if it was healthy. Micum spoke at length with me and understood our situation. He is very knowledgeable and I could tell that he is honest. He arranged to come to the property and even spoke with our construction manager to understand the full extent of the construction planned. Since we are in Strafford which is a bit of a distance from his offices, I offered to pay him for his consultation. The result was that Micum assured us that the tree was healthy and felt that it should be good for many years to come (a relief!). He also provided a very detailed report of his observations and also made recommendations on how to protect the tree roots during construction. I shared his detailed information with many members of my family and we all agree that contacting Cornerstone for the evaluation was a good move and we would definitely recommend contacting Cornerstone for a true Arborist's opinion!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best soil to put around a house foundation is fill dirt, which is soil that’s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don’t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your foundation planting, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.

When it comes to which stone is better, crushed or natural gravel, it all depends on the project. Crushed stone is a great base and filler material for projects like retention walls, concrete slabs, driveways, pipes, and drains. Gravel is a common choice for visually attractive landscaping projects like walkways, above-ground drainage systems, patios, and garden borders.

Yes, you can put soil on top of existing grass to level small areas. This is helpful for filling in small divots or leveling out minor dips in your yard that collect rainwater. However, this isn’t a good option if you need to regrade your entire lawn. It’s better to have a professional excavate some of the dirt first so that the level of the lawn doesn’t rise too high.

Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn’t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It’ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering how to make a gravel driveway in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.

While organic mulch offers many benefits, it can also attract bugs looking for shelter, food, and water. Insects, rodents, snails, and slugs are often attracted to its decomposing material.
