The meaning is the same. But the word-order is slightly different.
例えば
１）猫は部屋にいる。
２）部屋は猫がいる。
1 emphasizes the room. 2 emphasizes the cat.
The end of the sentence is being emphasized more.
-----
"It's hard for me to cut down trees." This slightly emphasizes the trees more.
"Cutting down trees is hard for me." This slightly emphasizes yourself more.
-----
Another example.
1) Cutting down trees is hard for Mary. But it's easy for Bob.
See how the important part is the person, not the trees? I hope this helps.
