From patios to planting beds, we help Powell homeowners build outdoor spaces that look better and last longer.
— Our Top Services
Powell is one of those Central Ohio communities where homeowners really care about curb appeal, outdoor living, and long-term home value. From established neighborhoods with mature trees to newer homes that need a full backyard plan, we help Powell homeowners create outdoor spaces that look great and work better every day. At First Tier Services, we build landscapes and hardscapes that fit the home, the property layout, and the way your family wants to use the space.
Because we’re local, we understand the common challenges homeowners in Powell deal with, like drainage issues, uneven grading, worn-out patios, and builder-grade landscaping that never quite feels finished. We solve those problems with smart design, quality materials, and hands-on installation. Our goal is simple: give you an outdoor space that is clean, durable, and built to last in Ohio weather.
We offer custom landscaping and outdoor construction services for homeowners who want more than a quick fix. Whether you need a full backyard transformation or a design plan for a DIY project, we can help.
We’re a locally owned company, and we take quality seriously. We do not use cheap big-box materials on our hardscape jobs. We use trusted products like Oberfields and Unilock pavers and retaining wall systems because they perform better and give your project a cleaner, more finished look. That matters when you’re investing in a patio, wall, or complete outdoor living area.
Our owner, Ryan Cox, is a Dublin native with over five years of hands-on experience in landscape design and lawn care. He brings practical knowledge, strong communication, and a problem-solving mindset to each job. We’re family-owned, easy to work with, and focused on customer service from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
Some homeowners in Powell want a better front entrance and stronger curb appeal. Others want a backyard that feels like an extension of the home, with a paver patio, pergola, retaining wall, or deck for entertaining. We build with those goals in mind. Every property is different, so we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. We look at layout, elevation, water flow, sun exposure, and how you want to use the space before we recommend a plan.
If your yard holds water after rain, slopes in the wrong direction, or feels unfinished, we can design and build a solution that improves both appearance and function. Good landscaping is not just about looks. It should also help protect your property and make outdoor living easier.
We proudly serve homeowners across Powell and nearby areas. Whether you’re near downtown Powell, in a newer subdivision, or on a larger residential lot outside the busiest parts of town, we’re ready to help with your landscape design, hardscape construction, pergola, or deck project.
