About College Bros
One ULM Student, One Mower, 5,000+ Jobs Later
Founded by a ULM student with a mower and a dream, College Bros has grown into Northeast Louisiana's most-reviewed student-run outdoor services company.
College Bros Outdoor Services started with one student, one mower, and a dream. Connor Pauley was studying at the University of Louisiana Monroe when he began cutting yards around town, and the work spoke for itself: clean lines, straight answers, and a yard that looked better every single time. Neighbors told neighbors. One mower became a trailer, a trailer became a crew, and a side hustle became College Bros Outdoor Services, LLC.
Today the company Connor founded runs multiple crews out of Monroe and has completed more than 5,000 jobs across Northeast Louisiana, earning a 4.8 rating across 48 Google reviews along the way. That makes College Bros the area's most-reviewed student-run outdoor services company, covering lawn care, landscaping, pressure and soft washing, and now hardscaping — our newest service, built around custom design and a free on-site consultation.
Why Student-Run Is Our Edge, Not Our Excuse
Plenty of companies would bury the word "student" in the fine print. We put it in the name. A student-run crew shows up hungry, takes the Louisiana heat in stride, and treats every review like it decides the future of the business — because for years, it did. What student-run never means at College Bros is winging it. We are insured, our pricing is published openly on the pricing page, and every job carries the same promise: not happy? We'll make it right — guaranteed.
How Our Crews Operate
Every College Bros crew is trained to one standard, so the work looks the same whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. A lawn care stop always covers the mow, the edging, the string trimming, and the blow-off — the finished look is the job, not an upgrade. Crews run organized routes through Monroe, West Monroe, and the surrounding communities, which is how we keep response times honest: same-day response, usually same-week service. When something falls short, you tell us once and we fix it. That guarantee is the system that keeps multiple crews working like one. Ready to see it firsthand? Book online and pick a time that works for you.
What We Stand For
Insured on Every Job
College Bros carries insurance, so the equipment on your property and the people running it are covered. Homeowners shouldn't have to take that risk on, and with us you never do.
A Guarantee We Actually Honor
Not happy? We'll make it right — guaranteed. Tell us what missed the mark and the crew returns to fix it. The promise is short because there's no fine print to hide behind.
Transparent, Published Pricing
Mowing start at $55 per visit and every rate is posted on our pricing page before you ever pick up the phone. No mystery quotes, no surprise line items at the end of the month.
Same-Day Response
Reach out and you hear back the same day — and because our routes already cover the Monroe area, service usually happens the same week. Fast answers are part of the job.
Student Hustle, Professional Standards
Student-run means energy, pride, and crews that genuinely care how the yard looks when they leave. Professionally operated means training, insurance, and systems behind every visit.
Rooted in Monroe
We're headquartered at 4100 Bon Aire Dr in Monroe and we live where we work. The yards we maintain belong to our professors, our neighbors, and the people we see at the grocery store.

What Your Neighbors Say
These guys are the real deal. Showed up on time, did an incredible job on our yard, and the price was more than fair. We've used them three times now and they never disappoint.
I needed my house soft washed before putting it on the market. College Bros made it look brand new. The buyer's agent even complimented how clean everything was. Worth every penny.
We manage several rental properties and College Bros handles all of them. Reliable, affordable, and they communicate better than companies twice their size. Highly recommend.
Had them do a full spring cleanup — leaf removal, mulching, bush trimming, the works. My yard hasn't looked this good in years. Already booked them for monthly maintenance.
Professional, courteous, and they do incredible work. I've tried other lawn services in Monroe and none of them compare. College Bros is the only crew I trust with my property.
They pressure washed our entire driveway, sidewalks, and back patio. It looks like we just poured new concrete. Absolutely amazing transformation. Will be using them again.
Questions About College Bros, Answered
Who owns College Bros Outdoor Services?
College Bros Outdoor Services, LLC is owned by founder Connor Pauley, who started the company while he was a student at the University of Louisiana Monroe. What began with a single mower has grown into Northeast Louisiana's most-reviewed student-run outdoor services company, with multiple crews operating out of Monroe and more than 5,000 completed jobs.
Is College Bros insured?
Yes. College Bros Outdoor Services is insured, which means the crews, equipment, and work on your property are covered on every visit. That protection applies across all of our services — lawn care, landscaping, pressure washing, and hardscaping — so hiring a student-run company never means accepting uninsured risk.
Are College Bros crews really run by college students?
Yes — the name is the real story, not a marketing angle. Connor Pauley founded College Bros while studying at ULM, and the company grew into Northeast Louisiana's most-reviewed student-run outdoor services operation. Student-run describes who built it and the hustle it runs on; it does not mean casual. Every crew is trained to one standard, the company is insured, and every job is backed by a make-it-right guarantee.
What is the College Bros guarantee?
The College Bros guarantee is simple: not happy? We'll make it right — guaranteed. If any part of a visit misses your expectations, tell us and the crew returns to correct it. There are no claim forms or fine print, because a 4.8 rating across 48 Google reviews only stays that high if problems get fixed instead of explained away.

College Bros has completed more than 5,000 jobs across Northeast Louisiana, including Monroe, West Monroe, Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore. Customers have rated that work 4.8 across 48 Google reviews. The volume comes from a simple loop: respond the same day, do the full job every visit, and make it right if anything falls short.
