Generally, a civil judgement automatically becomes a lien on a defendant's real property if the court in which it was granted also enters it into the state's judgment docket. Sometimes, the plaintiff has to send a copy of the judgment to the office that dockets judgments and only then will it become a lien.

If past the deadline to file a mechanic's lien is there another way to place a lien on real property if the owner owes me money for investing and working on their property?
A mechanic's lien serves to hold your place in line on the record title as a creditor WHILE YOU FILE a civil action against the person who owes you money. A mechanic's lien expires after a short period, usually 90 days. You are expected to obtain a court judgment and record a judgment lien against the property within the 90 day period. If you don't the mechanic's lien simply expires and you lose your place in line as a creditor. If you have a contract for services that has been breached you can still file a civil claim. If you are successful the court will issue a judgment in your favor and that judgment lien will be recorded in the land records and a copy will be served on the property owner by the sheriff. During the time you are waiting for your day in court other liens may be recorded that will take priority over yours.
