I'm aware that だけ can be used to say only. For example:

```

    二年{にねん}だけ
    
```

which means "only two years". I'm also aware that 位{ぐらい} can be used to
signify approximation. For example:

```

     二年位
    
```

which means "about two years".

So my question is can I combine both? Is `二年位だけ` correct? Does it mean it's
only been about two years?

Combining だけ and 位
Yes, you can safely say 2年ぐらいだけ ("only about two years"). Here ぐらい means
"approximately".
