@inkstainedruth I'm sorry to hear that. It is my experience, with electricity & roofers, one should good, when possible with fully licensed workers/ guild workers. The quality of work, and the service e is very different, so is the price tag.  I too, learned it late. The cheap one will often come and bite us, when & where is most sensitive.  

Yeah, we ran into that with the original electrician hired to rewire the house.  Unfortunately the guy we WANTED to hire wasn't available when the kitchen people were going to be there.  So we hired a guy recommended by someone my husband worked with.  And after getting into it with the electrician over stuff done wrong, we were in the kitchenette at the place my husband worked, and the guy who recommended the bozo was b*tching about how he needed work done at his place and the electrician was still working on our house and we made growlie noises at him and he backed away REALLY fast....

Unfortunately, the people who replaced our driveway recently ALSO had been a recommendation -- from friends of ours -- but of course their driveway is a LOT shorter, and their front yard didn't have the slope on the southern side of the driveway like ours did -- hence the doubling of the price because, no, we couldn't just have them run concrete up the upper side after they ripped out the hedge.  We had to have a wall put in.  Admittedly, the wall does look quite nice -- but it was an expense we had NOT planned on.  And when it gets a little warmer, I want to plant some sort of ground cover like periwinkle along the side (the driveway people weren't going to put grass seed all the way along and I was like "Oh yes, you are...."  Only to have my husband (who wasn't back from Mississippi at that point) say he WANTED some sort of ground cover so he didn't have to mow (the wall is about two feet high except for towards the bottom where the driveway slopes down to the street, and about 2-1/2 feet hight at the back end of it).

@inkstainedruth I wish you all the luck and fun planting ground cover. There are so many lovely possibilities of fantastic ground covers. But that would be better for the Houzz forum
