Landscape & Hardscape Contractor – Lead Referral PartnershipOpportunity Overview
We are looking for established Landscape & Hardscape Contractors in Texas interested in receiving additional residential, commercial, and development project leads.
This is a lead referral partnership, not an employee position.
We generate the leads. You estimate, contract, manage, and complete the projects through your own company.
There is no upfront cost to participate. Instead of charging for leads or requiring a marketing budget from you, we receive a small agreed-upon percentage of projects that are successfully contracted through our referrals.
What We Provide
- Qualified landscaping and hardscaping leads
- Marketing and advertising at no upfront cost to you
- Website creation or redesign, if needed
- CRM and lead tracking software
- Call tracking
- Phone support when you are unable to answer
- Lead follow-up assistance
- Residential, commercial, and development opportunities
Our goal is to help make sure good leads don't get lost because a contractor is busy working, managing a crew, or unable to answer the phone.
What We're Looking For
We want to partner with established contractors who:
- Operate their own legitimate contracting business
- Carry appropriate insurance
- Maintain any licenses, registrations, or permits required for the work performed
- Have experience with landscaping and hardscaping projects
- Can professionally estimate and manage referred projects
- Respond to new leads promptly
- Keep lead and project statuses updated in our tracking system
- Have an established crew and the ability to handle larger projects
- Ideally have 10+ workers or the ability to quickly scale using qualified subcontractors
Projects may include landscaping, hardscaping, pavers, artificial turf, irrigation, concrete, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pool landscaping/demo, grading, drainage, commercial landscaping, development projects, and other outdoor construction.
Specialty work must be completed by contractors or subcontractors who hold any licensing required for that particular work.
How It Works
We provide the marketing and leads → You close and complete the work → We receive an agreed-upon referral percentage.
There are no upfront marketing fees, website fees, software fees, or lead-purchase costs.
You continue operating under your own company, and our role is to help generate, track, and support additional business opportunities for you.
We're particularly interested in contractors who want to grow and have the workforce—or subcontractor network—to take advantage of larger residential, commercial, and development projects.
Contract Type: Independent Contractor / Lead Referral Partnership
Upfront Cost: $0
Compensation: Agreed-upon percentage of successfully completed referred projects, plus any applicable taxes.
Pay: From $500,000.00 per year
Application Question(s):

General Contractor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a general contractor in Texas?
Most general contractors in Texas work under registrations issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, though licensing requirements vary by project type and municipality. Many employers require a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, alongside field experience. Earning an OSHA 30-hour certification and learning project management software are practical early steps that Texas employers consistently look for in candidates at every level.
How much do general contractors make in Texas?
General contractors in Texas earn a median of about $101,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,040 for the lowest 10% to over $166,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire general contractors in Texas?
Employers hiring general contractors in Texas right now include KALCON, MPOWERHealth, and Superior Contracting & Maintenance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's sustained construction boom across commercial, industrial, and residential sectors means large regional and national builders maintain consistent hiring pipelines throughout the state.
Which Texas cities have the most general contractor jobs?
Dallas, Texas, and Austin have the most general contractor openings in Texas. Houston's energy and medical complex construction drives high volume there, Dallas-Fort Worth's rapid commercial and mixed-use expansion fuels demand across that metro, and Austin's continued tech campus and multifamily residential growth keeps that market consistently active for experienced builders.
Are there remote general contractor jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. General contractor work is fundamentally site-dependent, so most roles require consistent on-site presence. About 17% of general contractor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve pre-construction planning, estimating, or project coordination functions rather than active field supervision.
How can I get hired as a general contractor in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a construction superintendent assistant or project engineer role at a mid-size Texas commercial builder, where structured mentorship is common. Large Texas homebuilders like D.R. Horton and Lennar run associate superintendent programs designed for candidates without prior construction management experience. Earning an OSHA 30-hour card and completing a construction management certificate from a Texas community college gives early applicants a concrete edge in competitive entry-level screens.
Where can I find and apply to general contractor jobs in Texas?
