Contractor Hiring Unlicensed Sub to Complete job/Job abandonment

I contracted with a licensed contractor to complete a $60K landscaping job. The licensed contractor hired an unlicensed sub (license has actually been revoked for 2 years) to complete job. Project was to take 1 month and we are now in month 6. Job is mostly complete. However, final punch list is not getting done. They've been trying unsuccessfully to fix this stuff for months and now it has been weeks since I've heard from either the contractor or sub. I still have not paid final payment of $6K (10%). I still have a water feature that is leaking, spinkler's/drip system that doesn't function properly, stucco and paint on a retaining wall that is falling off, and electrical that I have been told is not up to code. What is my best approach for protecting my legal rights . I believe the cost to cure these defects would be more than the $$$ I still owe.
