HORRIBLE WORK - FABRICATED INVOICING - INCOMPETENT OWNER/CEO (Greg C.)
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They recently changed their name from "Make A Difference Landscaping" to "The Difference Landscapes;" new name ... same clown behind the desk.
I unfortunately hired this clown-show and it was a disaster from the start. They have ZERO project management and oversight, ZERO accountability, and ZERO integrity! Not to mention the "work" they do is sub-par at best.
1. The employees threw their lunch and snack trash into my yard and tried to bury it as they worked. (My home office overlooks the work site and I saw and took pictures of everything).
2. They dumped scrap rebar, angle iron, random plastic, wires, broken glass and ceramic tile ... and my personal favorite, a child's shoe into my yard when they delivered "screened loam."
3. I had to explain to their workers the correct way to lay stone and allow them to use my tools because they didn't bring their own.
4. I had to re-do several of their contracted tasks myself because it was not done correctly ... but the CEO tried to charge me for work that I did, despite knowing they did it wrong.
5. One task was estimated to take 3-days at a cost of $4,100. The invoice showed the work was done in two-days, but the CEO still tried to charge me for three days of work, even when I pointed out the discrepancy to him.
6. On the same task, I was one of the people working because they were SO BEHIND schedule, yet the CEO still tried to charge me for work that I did.
7. I was able to accurately document and prove that the CEO overcharged me $3,598.99 for work that I personally did and show that his record keeping and accounting was wrong.
8. I was able to document and prove that the CEO attempted to charge me $4500 for non-contracted work, while lying to the Better Business Bureau about what transpired.
9. They destroyed aspects of my existing irrigation system and despite knowing that they did and me having pictures, no attempt was made to correct or rectify their damage.
I have over 35 counts (physical and administrative) of documented errors made by this company, to include every single aspect of the final invoice being wrong. The CEO has no integrity or morals, he only cares about money in his pocket - he cannot be trusted!
If you get STUCK with these clowns, take before-during-after pictures of the work/project, annotate what days people show up, how long they are there and what task they are working on. Trust me, it will be worth your effort, because at the end of the job, they will have no idea what happened when, but will invoice you to get the money they think they deserve. The CEO freely admitted to me that they did not keep accurate records, yet he didn't think twice about fabricating an invoice. Thankfully I had all of the documentation I am recommending to you, and was able to prove everything he claimed as falsified.
In the end, I had to hire two additional landscaping companies to either fix or completely re-do what Make A Difference Landscaping screwed up. They definitely "Make a Difference," but definitely not in a positive way!
I'm shocked they are still in business...

Our Association has used The Difference Landscapes several times in the past few years, as recently as today. They always go above and beyond what is asked of them, and we couldn't be happier, They graded and graveled another section of our dirt road and they did more than was expected. They cleared another area that was completely overgrown and again, did more than we asked. They also trimmed overgrown Arborvitae for us. Chris, Nate, Isaiah and Julien were professional and very courteous. Thank you to The Difference Landscapes for having such an excellent work ethic and top-notch employees. We look forward to working with them again.
