natural12 is an unknown quantity at this point
We are a small company. I have 3 employees. But I sometimes sub out a masonry crew of four on larger projects. I am on the job most of the time depending on the job. If it is a stone project or hardscape project I am probably there 90 percent of the time. If it is a planting job, or mulching or some soft scaping then I might not be around much. But I absolutely check things out and make sure all is done well. My guys do well on those type of jobs and work hard. I am not ready to unleash them on a retaining wall project or patio job yet without my guidance.
This has been a bit of a problem for me because I spend a lot of time in the evenings or weekends seeing clients and working on designs and estimates. I get burnt out. The spring is the worst. I guess I have a hard time giving up control. Plus I would rather work than sit at the desk.
