We’re proud to serve Upper Arlington homeowners
Upper Arlington is known for well-kept homes, established neighborhoods, and outdoor spaces that add real value to the property. Homeowners here care about curb appeal, drainage that works, and outdoor areas that feel clean, functional, and built to last. That is exactly where we come in.
At First Tier Services, we help homeowners in Upper Arlington improve their property with smart excavation, custom hardscape construction, and dependable drainage solutions. Whether you are fixing a low spot in the yard, planning a new paver patio, or getting your land ready for a bigger outdoor project, we bring hands-on experience and a practical approach to every job.
Outdoor solutions built for the way your property works
We do more than make a yard look good. We focus on how the land drains, how the space will be used, and how each feature will hold up over time in Central Ohio weather. Our work is designed to solve problems and improve everyday living at home.
- Excavation for residential site prep, grading, and dirt work
- Hardscape and construction for patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor living areas
- Drainage solutions for standing water, runoff issues, soggy yards, and foundation concerns
- Land clearing and land development support for property improvements
- Free estimates and free landscape design for qualifying projects
- Design-only plans for DIY homeowners who want a professional layout before they build
Why Upper Arlington homeowners choose us
We are a locally owned, family-operated company, and we believe homeowners deserve clear communication, quality materials, and work done the right way. We do not cut corners with big-box materials. For pavers and retaining walls, we use trusted products from Oberfields and Unilock because they perform better and look better over time.
Our background in excavation and land development helps us see the bigger picture on every property. That matters when a patio needs proper base prep, when a retaining wall needs to do its job, or when drainage problems are affecting the usability of your yard. We build with function first, then finish with a clean, polished result.

Why Homeowners Trust First Tier Services
Real feedback on drainage, excavation, and hardscape work that looks good and holds up
"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."
