Landscaping Across Northeast Louisiana
Landscaping That Makes the Neighbors Slow Down
Mulch installs, flower bed design, hedge trimming, and full seasonal cleanups — done right by an insured local crew. From $150, with same-day response and usually same-week service.
Beds full of weeds, mulch that faded to gray two summers ago, hedges swallowing the front windows — every yard in Northeast Louisiana gets there eventually, because everything here grows fast and grows back faster. College Bros Outdoor Services handles the part of the yard the mower can't fix: mulch installation and bed refreshes, flower bed design and planting, hedge and shrub trimming, and the seasonal cleanups that reset a property from the curb to the back fence. We're student-run, professionally operated, and headquartered right here in Monroe, with a 4.8 rating across 48 Google reviews and more than 5,000 completed jobs behind us.
What a College Bros landscaping visit covers
Landscaping work starts at $150 per visit, and full projects typically run $200–$3,000 depending on scope — every number is published on our pricing page, so you'll never have to guess. A standard bed refresh means re-cutting the edges to a clean spade line, pulling weeds out by the root instead of topping them, cutting back overgrowth, and laying fresh mulch at a proper depth — enough to choke out weeds and hold soil moisture without smothering your plants. Hedge and shrub trimming is shaping for plant health, not just running a trimmer across the top: we time cuts around bloom cycles and haul off every clipping before we leave. For new beds and replanting, we'll walk the space with you and can mock up a design visualization first, so you approve the finished look before a single plant goes in the ground.
Built for how things actually grow here
Landscaping in Ouachita Parish is its own discipline. Summer heat pushes past the point where the wrong plant choices simply die, spring storms drop limbs and bury beds in debris overnight, and the Bermuda, St. Augustine, and centipede turf that covers most local lawns will run straight into an unedged bed within weeks. We plan around all of it — heat-proven plantings, mulch that holds moisture through July and August, and bed edges cut deep enough to slow turf runners between visits. It's the difference between a yard that looks good the week we leave and one that still looks good in mid-August.
Our crews run daily routes across Monroe, West Monroe, Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore — roughly a 25-mile radius around our Monroe home base. You can read what we do street by street on our city pages: landscaping in Monroe from the Garden District to River Oaks, landscaping in West Monroe around Kiroli Park and Antique Alley, and landscaping in Sterlington for the newer builds near the Sports Complex. When you're ready, book online in about a minute or call (318) 600-9123 — same-day response, usually same-week service.
Landscaping Services We Offer
Mulch Installation & Bed Refresh
We strip weeds out by the root, re-cut bed edges to a clean line, trim back overgrowth, and lay fresh mulch at the right depth so it suppresses weeds and holds moisture through the hottest stretch of summer. Mulch jobs run $150–$1,200 depending on bed size and material.
Hedge & Shrub Trimming
Crisp, even shaping on boxwoods, hollies, ligustrum, and azaleas — timed around bloom cycles so flowering shrubs keep next season's buds. Every trim ends with a real cleanup: clippings raked out of the beds, hauled off, and walkways blown clean.
Flower Bed Design & Planting
New beds and replanting built around plants that survive a Louisiana August, not whatever was on the clearance rack. On design projects we can prepare a visualization first, so you see the finished look and sign off before anything is planted.
Spring & Fall Cleanups
A full reset: leaves out of the beds and off the lawn, dead growth cut back, edges redefined, debris hauled away. Leaf removal runs $75–$600 depending on volume — most properties book a cleanup twice a year, once after leaf drop and once before the growing season takes off.
Storm Cleanup
Spring storms across Ouachita Parish leave limbs, leaf litter, and scattered debris fast. We clear it, haul it, and put the yard back in order — typically $100–$1,200 depending on 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.
Landscaping Questions, Answered
How much does landscaping cost in Monroe, LA?
Landscaping with College Bros starts at $150 per visit, and full projects typically run $200–$3,000 depending on scope. Mulch installation runs $150–$1,200 based on bed size and material, seasonal leaf removal runs $75–$600, and storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200. Those figures are starting points; the firm number comes down to bed square footage, plant count, and how much haul-off the job needs. The full breakdown is on our pricing page, and you can book online to get a firm number for your yard.
What is included in a mulch installation and bed refresh?
A College Bros bed refresh includes weeding by the root, re-cutting the bed edges to a clean defined line, trimming back overgrown plants, laying fresh mulch at a depth that actually suppresses weeds, and hauling off all debris before we leave. Mulch jobs run $150–$1,200 depending on bed size and the material you choose. It is the single fastest way to make an established yard in Monroe or West Monroe look new again.
How often should hedges and shrubs be trimmed in Louisiana?
In Northeast Louisiana, most hedges need trimming two to four times per growing season — the heat and humidity keep shrubs like ligustrum and boxwood pushing new growth from early spring well into fall. Spring-flowering shrubs such as azaleas should be trimmed right after they bloom so you don't cut off next year's buds. College Bros times every trim around the plant, not just the calendar, and we haul off all clippings.
What plants hold up in the Northeast Louisiana heat?
Proven performers around Monroe include azaleas, crepe myrtles, hollies, daylilies, lantana, and liriope — plants that handle long stretches of 95-degree heat and heavy humidity without constant babying. When College Bros designs or replants a bed, we build it around heat-tough choices like these so it still looks good in mid-August, and we'll match plant selections to how much sun, shade, and irrigation your beds actually get.
How soon can College Bros come out for landscaping work?
You'll get a same-day response when you book online or call (318) 600-9123, and most landscaping jobs in the Monroe and West Monroe area are completed the same week. Exact timing depends on the season and the size of the job — spring is our busiest stretch — but we'll give you a real timeframe up front, not a vague window.
Do you haul away debris after trimming and cleanups?
Yes. Haul-off is part of the job on every College Bros landscaping visit — hedge clippings, pulled weeds, cut-back growth, leaves, and storm debris all leave with us. We rake the beds out, blow off driveways and walkways, and don't leave piles at the curb for you to deal with.
Do you offer landscaping in West Monroe and Sterlington?
Yes. College Bros runs landscaping crews across Monroe, West Monroe, Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore — roughly a 25-mile radius around our Monroe headquarters. We have dedicated pages for landscaping in West Monroe and landscaping in Sterlington with local details for each area, and our crews already run weekly routes through every one of these communities.
What's the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping is the living side of the yard — mulch, flower beds, planting, hedge trimming, and cleanups. Hardscaping is the built side: paver patios, walkways, fire pits, and retaining walls. College Bros does both, and they pair well — a new patio usually deserves fresh beds around it. Hardscaping is our newest service and every project starts with a free on-site design consultation; see the hardscaping page for details.
