Who is responsible?

Hello,

I am new to this forum and I am so glad that I found it; it's great.
I am studying ecological landscape design now and soon, I wish to start my own garden design business. I have been a landscape maintenance technician for many years , but still have virtually no business management training.
I am working on my business's contract and other legalese. My question is-when I hire sub-contractors to do the paving, pond, retaining wall work (since I have no abilities here)-does my contract have to specify who is liable for any shoddy work-myself or the sub-contractor-or as a designer, am I responsible, legally, for the work of those I sub-contact hardscaping to?


Thanks.
