Make A Difference Landscaping, LLC

Friendly, hardworking team who did an awesome job on lawn clean-up/leaves today. They also maintain our gardens and lawn.

HORRIBLE WORK - FABRICATED INVOICING - INCOMPETENT OWNER/CEO (G. C.) DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They recently changed their name from Make A Difference Landscaping to The Difference Landscapes new name, same owner. I unfortunately hired MADL and it was an unprofessional disaster from the start. They have ZERO project management and oversight, ZERO accountability, and ZERO integrity! Not to mention the work that 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 loam. 3. I had to explain to their workers the correct way to lay stone and allow them to use my tools because they did not 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. 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 project, annotate what days people show up, how long they are there and what they are working on. 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 did not 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. I had to pay two additional landscaping companies over $10,000 to either fix or completely re-do what Make A Difference Landscaping screwed up. They know how to Make a Difference but definitely not in a positive way! I am shocked they are still in business...

They were awesome!!

Easy to work with, professional and did what they said they would do.

Excellent communication, much appreciated.

Did a very good job

Great customer service.

This company quoted me one price over the phone and charged another. I have exterior cameras on my property and were able to see their workers (while I was at work and not home). taking breaks, drinking beverages and leisurely raking leaves. I called their office to complain while their workers were present but they still did a half baked job. They failed to clean up areas I asked for and were barely doing actual work they claimed to specialize in. Then they had the gall to charge me more than I was quoted for a job half done. I had to spend time raking and blowing leaves to finish the job they were supposed to do. I showed my neighbors (one of which used to work for them) and they agreed the job was terrible. I am disputing their charge and will likely take them to court to refund some of my money. Half the job should only mean paying half the cost. Making A Difference was awful and I will never recommend them.

Well Done.

I had Make a Difference do a major lawn project. They mowed down half an acre of brush and reclaimed as much area of turf. They started the job a week after getting the quote. The crew is amazing. So professional and hard working. You will not find a better value in landscaping I promise you. Hire them with confidence. Thank you Make a Difference!

I had a small project but they came right away and came up with the right materials to make a small sunny patio for flower pots. They were super nice and were done in no time.

Liked the work completed. Thorough. Took more time to set up the actual date of work than I would have liked, but I was very happy one set up.

Contracted Nathan and his crew for front yard install and retaining wall work on our home in Salisbury MA. The work came out great. Looks incredible! The whole experience was very easy with Nathan and his team giving great ideas and advice throughout the project. The cost was very reasonable with the quality of work outstanding. The team worked extra hours to get the job done on time. The new retaining wall came out well above expectations. Will definitely work with Make a Difference Landscaping again in the future. If anyone is looking for home landscaping or stone work and wants to work with a landscaping company that is fun and easy to work with then look no further then Make a Difference Landscaping! Jim P.

I had my front yard, side yard and over my septic system regraded and loamed last fall. This spring they came back and hydro seeded. I am so pleased! My yard has made a complete 360. My lawn is thick and full I am so thrilled with the work that Make a Difference has done.

I had a great experience with Make a Difference Landscaping. You could tell that the crew took pride in their work, even in heat. Everyone was super nice and fun people to work with.

Time will tell about repair to see if it lasts. Actual bill was 50% more than the estimate.

Very happy with the work they did removing stumps, taking out bushes and digging holes. Nice people to work with!

Bill was awesome! Very knowledgable and efficient.

excellent service.

We were looking for hydroseeding, and they were very cooperative. I described the job and the site over the phone. I emailed them 2 photos so they could see the site. They quoted a price and gave me a date. I expected to be there, but had to be off site when they came. The job was done when I returned. It looks great, but it's early since it takes grass seed awhile to get started.

Good job at a fair price. Lisa is very responsive to inquiries.

We were impressed by the owner and the price was competitive. The two men who did the work were pleasant and hard-working, but they didn't seem to know much about pruning the shrubs. We were a bit disappointed with the final job. It seemed incomplete.

Had initial problems with the first group doing the work, however, after contacting the office, the situation was corrected with 100% satisfaction.

Very competitive quote for irrigation system - the lawn does have a significant number of humps and divots and I wished they had seeded the area where the pipes run instead of putting the clumps of grass back (which died anyway) but, for the price I can deal with it.

Pretty hard workers
