Landscaping Services in Delaware, OH
Delaware is one of those Central Ohio communities where homeowners take real pride in their property. From established neighborhoods with mature trees to newer homes that need grading, drainage, and outdoor living upgrades, we see a wide mix of needs here. That is exactly why we offer practical, well-built solutions that improve how your yard looks, drains, and functions. At First Tier Services, we help Delaware homeowners solve site issues the right way and build outdoor spaces they can enjoy for years.
As a local, family-owned company, we understand the soil, weather, and drainage challenges that come with properties in this area. Heavy rains, low spots, erosion, and poor water runoff can turn a yard into a headache fast. We take the time to look at the whole property, explain what is happening, and recommend a fix that makes sense for your home and budget.
Built for Delaware properties
We work with residential homeowners across Delaware who want more than a quick patch job. Whether you need excavation for a new project, a retaining wall to manage grade changes, or drainage work to move water away from your home, we focus on solid workmanship and long-term performance.
- Excavation for site prep, grading, dirt work, and land clearing
- Hardscape and construction for patios, walkways, paver installs, retaining walls, and outdoor living areas
- Drainage solutions for standing water, runoff control, downspout drainage, swales, and grading correction
- Custom landscape planning for homeowners who want full installation or design-only plans for DIY projects
Why homeowners in Delaware choose us
We started First Tier Services to make land development and outdoor construction easier for homeowners. That means clear communication, dependable scheduling, and work that is tailored to your property instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. We also use high-quality paver and retaining wall products from Oberfields and Unilock, not low-grade big-box materials. That gives your project a better look and better lifespan.
Homeowners also appreciate that we offer free estimates and free landscape design for clients moving forward with a project. If you are a hands-on homeowner, we can also create a design-only plan so you can tackle the work yourself with confidence. And if budget timing matters, financing is available to help make larger outdoor projects more manageable.

"I had a great experience working with First Tier Services and would highly recommend them. From the beginning of the project through completion, the crew was always extremely professional, respectful, and easy to work with. They listened to any questions or concerns I had and were always willing to give their professional opinion on the best way to complete the project. It was clear that they cared about doing the job correctly and making sure everything was completed to a very high standard. As a first-time homeowner, I did not always know what to expect with a project like this, but they did an excellent job explaining everything in a way that was simple and easy to understand. They took care of the entire process from start to finish, which made the experience much less stressful for me. We ran into some rain delays and weather-related issues along the way, but communication was always excellent. I was kept informed about what was happening, what the next steps were, and when work could continue. They also went the extra mile when it came to the finishing touches and cleanup. They made sure the property was cleaned up, everything looked professional, and I was satisfied with the completed work before wrapping up the project. Overall, I am extremely happy with the quality of the work and the level of service I received from First Tier Services. They were professional, knowledgeable, honest, and dependable throughout the entire project. I would absolutely use them again for future projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for a company that takes pride in its work and takes care of its customers."
