Lakeshore | Bayou DeSiard
Outdoor Services in Lakeshore, on the Bayou DeSiard Side of Monroe
Lakeshore shares the 71203 zip code with our shop, which makes these some of the shortest drives on our schedule. One insured local crew for the lawn, the beds, the concrete, and the backyard.
Lakeshore is the stretch of Monroe that lives alongside Bayou DeSiard, and yards here carry a different kind of pressure than yards elsewhere in town: they get seen twice. Neighbors judge them from the street, and anyone out on the water judges them from behind. We think lakeside properties along Bayou DeSiard deserve a yard that matches the view — and as it happens, no part of our coverage map is easier for us to reach. Lakeshore sits in 71203, the same zip code where College Bros keeps its trailers on Bon Aire Drive, so a Lakeshore address slots into routes our crews drive constantly anyway.
Four Services, Priced Before You Ask
Everything outside the walls of a Lakeshore home is on the menu, and the starting numbers are public. Lawn care in Lakeshore begins at $55 per visit, and every visit covers the cut plus string trimming and blow-off — the Premium plan adds edging and weed control from $75. Landscaping starts at $150 and runs from a single bed refresh to full projects between $200 and $3,000. Pressure washing starts at $150 for concrete, with house and roof soft washing from $200 — a service this humid pocket of town needs more often than most. And hardscaping, the newest thing we do, brings paver patios, walkways, fire pits, and retaining walls to backyards that face the water, starting with a free on-site design consultation and a custom quote. The complete rate tables live on the pricing page.
What the Bayou Does to a Yard
Proximity to water shapes everything about maintaining property here. Moisture hanging in the air keeps shaded driveways, fence lines, and north-facing walls growing green film nearly year-round. The mature trees that make these lots feel established also throw the kind of shade where St. Augustine and centipede thrive but Bermuda sulks — while the open, sunny sections flip that equation completely. Spring squall lines come through hard, dropping limbs into beds and lawns that were spotless the day before. And on lots that slope toward the bayou, water management is not a detail; it determines where you can plant, where you can pave, and how long any of it lasts. A crew that works this zip code every week plans around all of it instead of discovering it on the invoice.

What Lakeshore Homeowners Hire Us For
Mowing That Respects the Waterline
Weekly and biweekly cuts with deck heights matched to each section of the lot — taller for St. Augustine and centipede under the trees, lower for Bermuda in the sun. Clippings get blown back into the turf, not toward the storm drains or the bayou.
Beds That Frame the View
Mulch installs, flower bed design, and hedge trimming planned around sightlines, so plantings lead the eye toward the water instead of blocking it. Shrubs get shaped on a schedule, not hacked back once a year.
Washing Away the Bayou Film
Driveways, sidewalks, and fences pressure washed; siding and roofs soft washed at low pressure. Homes near the water re-grow algae faster than homes across town, and we clean accordingly — without blasting anything that should not be blasted.
Backyards Built Toward the Water
Our newest service: paver patios, walkways, fire pits, seating walls, and retaining walls, designed drainage-first for lots that slope toward Bayou DeSiard. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and a custom quote.
Storm and Season Cleanup
When a spring storm drops limbs or fall burying season arrives, we reset the property. Storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200 and leaf removal $75–$600 depending on volume, quoted honestly after we see what came down.

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.
Lakeshore Questions We Hear Most
Is Lakeshore in College Bros' service area?
Yes — and it is some of the closest territory we cover. Lakeshore is the Monroe neighborhood along Bayou DeSiard in zip code 71203, the same zip where College Bros is headquartered on Bon Aire Drive. Crews pass through the area constantly, so there are no trip fees and scheduling is fast: same-day response, usually same-week service.
Is Lakeshore a separate town from Monroe?
No. Lakeshore is a neighborhood within Monroe, Louisiana, situated along Bayou DeSiard and carrying the 71203 zip code. College Bros treats it as part of its core Monroe coverage rather than an outlying area, which means Lakeshore homes get the same pricing, the same routes, and the same response times as the rest of the city.
What does lawn mowing cost in Lakeshore?
Basic mowing in Lakeshore is priced by lot size: $55–$75 per visit under a quarter acre, $80–$115 up to a half acre, $105–$150 up to a full acre, and $140–$190 above that — weekly schedules sit at the low end of each range and one-time cuts at the top. String trimming and blow-off come standard with every visit at every tier, and Premium service adds edging plus weed control from $75 a week. These are per-visit estimates, and the final figure depends on the specific property — details on the Lakeshore lawn care page.
Do you pressure wash houses near Bayou DeSiard?
Yes. Concrete pressure washing in Lakeshore starts at $150, and houses and roofs are soft washed — a low-pressure method safe for siding and shingles — from $200. Homes near the bayou collect algae and mildew faster than average because of the moisture in the air, so washing is one of the most-requested services in this part of Monroe. Full details are on the Lakeshore pressure washing page.
Can you build a patio or fire pit at a Lakeshore home?
Yes. Hardscaping is College Bros' newest service line, covering paver patios, walkways, fire pits, seating walls, and retaining walls. Every Lakeshore project starts with a free on-site design consultation — important on bayou-side lots, where slope and drainage shape the design — followed by a custom quote. There is no obligation attached to the consultation; visit the Lakeshore hardscaping page or book online to set one up.
How soon can a crew get to my house in Lakeshore?
Quickly — Lakeshore sits in the same 71203 zip code as the College Bros shop, so crews are nearby on most working days. Every booking, call, and text gets a same-day response, and most jobs are completed within the same week. We give an honest scheduling window up front instead of promising an exact day we might not be able to keep.
Do you handle storm cleanup in Lakeshore?
Yes. After spring storms move through Northeast Louisiana, College Bros clears downed limbs, scattered debris, and buried beds across Lakeshore. Storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200 depending on how much came down, quoted after we see the property or your photos. Because the neighborhood is minutes from our shop, post-storm response here tends to be among our fastest in Monroe.
