"20 hours ago New I had high expectations based on the positive reviews and Brian’s own assurances of his experience. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. From the initial miscalculation of the loam and seed needed to complete the project to his refusal to meet and discuss the unresolved issues, the experience was deeply disappointing. Additional concerns exist but are beyond the scope of this review. To offer a simple comparison: while Brian was working on my property, the electric company happened to reseed a patch of roadside across the street. Their quick, basic repair job yielded better results than what I received. If Brian’s outcome had matched even that standard, I wouldn’t feel the need to leave a negative review. Perhaps his services are adequate for basic tasks like mowing, raking, or plowing. But for more substantial projects, I strongly recommend exploring other options. Do your homework before making a decision."

"We are very pleased with the responsiveness and quality of work done. Taylor came out the same day I called to scope out the job, I had an estimate (the best out of 3 I obtained) the next day, and they came out to do the work a few days later. The crew showed up on time, communicated well with us, and were respectful of our property and noise for our neighbors. Our property is not the easiest to work on, so we definitely respect the skill and hard work the crew put in. We would definitely hire again."

"Ian and his crew worked diligently to install a new retaining wall and walkway for my front yard. They worked through the torrential downpouring and cold weather to get it all completed before I got back from a business trip (I knew it was raining due to my view from my ring doorbell). Needless to say, everything turned out better than I could have asked for. I definitely would use The Difference Landscapes again, and I Strongly recommend them to anyone who needs some hardscaping done."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Building a pergola yourself costs less than hiring someone to do it for two reasons. First, a contractor will charge a markup on the materials. Second, you’ll save the entire cost of labor. In exchange for the money you save, you’ll need to dedicate at least one full weekend to the project.

While your municipality may have its own regulations requiring pergolas or other structures to be a certain height above a fire pit, the standard recommendation is that the pergola should be at least 10 feet above the fire pit. A taller pergola allows the heat from the flames to dissipate before reaching the structure.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds. A 3/8-inch diameter turnbuckle, which is strong enough to handle most residential fence gates, can handle a working load of 1,200 pounds. Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.

Costs range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
