Landscaping Services in Johnstown, OH
If you're in Johnstown and need outdoor work done the right way, we’re here to help. As Central Ohio continues to grow, more homeowners in Johnstown are investing in better drainage, stronger retaining walls, clean grading, and outdoor spaces that add value to their property. We work with homeowners who want practical solutions, solid construction, and a finished result that looks great and lasts.
Johnstown has a unique mix of open land, newer homes, and established properties. That means no two projects are exactly the same. Some yards need excavation and grading before anything else can happen. Others need drainage work to move water away from the house, patio, or foundation. And many homeowners want a hardscape plan that makes the space more usable for family, guests, and everyday life. That’s where our hands-on experience makes a difference.
Built for Johnstown properties
We understand the challenges that come with Central Ohio soil, slope, runoff, and seasonal weather. We build outdoor spaces and site solutions with those conditions in mind. Our goal is simple: make your property work better, drain better, and look better.
- Excavation for site prep, grading, and land improvement
- Hardscape and construction for patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor living areas
- Drainage solutions to help control standing water, runoff, erosion, and soggy yards
- Dirt work and land clearing for residential property improvement
- Landscape design support, including design-only plans for DIY homeowners

Smart solutions for drainage, grading, and outdoor construction
Many of the calls we get in Johnstown start with a problem that keeps getting worse. Water pooling after rain. A slope that is washing out. A backyard that feels impossible to use. A patio area that was never set up correctly from the start. We solve those problems by looking at the full picture, not just the symptom.
Good excavation, drainage, and hardscape work all connect. Proper grading helps water flow where it should. Strong base prep helps patios and walkways stay level. Well-built retaining walls help manage elevation changes and support the surrounding area. When everything is planned together, you get better long-term results.

"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."
