Yeah. I mean I just had some concrete slabs laid to put a bike shed on (literally bikeshedding, the colour is green, that's what it comes powdercoated in from the supplier, take it or leave it).

It was 300 quid.

I could not buy the materials for 300 quid.

Two guys showed up with eight slabs, half a tonne of Type 2 and half a tonne of sand, and then the next day the landscaper showed up and did about six hours of work to dig it all out, fill it all in, and put the slabs down.

It's absolutely perfect, exactly how I wanted it, and it would have taken me a couple of days and cost far more - and I'm quite good at that kind of stuff, it's just not what I do all day every day so the landscaper will be far better at it.

My experience when i was in the trade is very few people know what perfect looks like, and so are perfectly willing to forego decent workmanship in favour of cheap. One of the reasons I left the trade, you could make more money doing a bad job, and I had no desire to do that.
