About College Bros
One ULM Student, One Mower, a Local Business
Founded by a ULM student with a mower and a dream, College Bros has grown into a local 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 serves communities across Northeast Louisiana from its Monroe base. College Bros offers lawn care, landscaping, pressure and soft washing, and hardscaping, with a custom quote and free on-site consultation for design work.
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. Our team will review your request and contact you about the next step. Timing depends on the service and availability. 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.

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.

Customer Experiences
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.
