There will be some things that I will out sub out with which I do not have actual hands-on experience. But I can do the planting and I will know enough about proper installation of the various hardscaping items I sell to make sure that the job is done correctly. (In fact, maybe I ought to detail the installation procedures in any contract between me and my subs).

How well do you know your subs?

Two of them I have used a total of four times with good results. Another comes highly recommended. And another has taken me to see his work and provided references.

Are they going to bump you on scheduling to go do higher paying jobs?

I can't say that this will never happen. But they won't get work from me again if they do. Besides, having employees instead of subs is no guarantee of loyalty and carries it's own set of problems.
