Landscaping in Monroe, LA: Beds, Mulch, and Hedges Done Right
From a single bed refresh to a full property cleanup — projects from $150, handled by the crew based right here in town.
Monroe's best landscapes were mostly planted decades ago. Walk the Garden District or the streets around Forsythe Park and you see what time builds here: established beds, mature shrubs, hedges with real structure. Landscaping in this town is less about installing something new than about keeping good bones in shape — and knowing when a tired bed needs to be pulled apart and rebuilt. College Bros does both, with visits starting at $150 and full projects typically running $200–$3,000 depending on scope.
Mulch is the workhorse of it all, and in this climate it earns its keep twice over. A proper two-to-three-inch layer holds soil moisture through the brutal stretch from June to September, keeps root zones cooler, and starves out the weed seed that Northeast Louisiana's nine-month growing season never stops supplying. Thin, faded mulch does none of that — it just looks tired. Installs run $150–$1,200 depending on bed size and depth, and we re-cut the bed edges as part of the job so the line between turf and bed reads sharp from the street.
A Calendar's Worth of Work, One Crew
The season sets the schedule here. Spring squall lines drop limbs and trash beds overnight — storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200 and we can usually get to it fast because crews are based in town. Summer is hedge season: shrubs in full Monroe sun put on growth fast enough to lose their shape in a month, so most customers run trimming on a recurring cycle rather than waiting for the hedge to go shaggy. Fall brings the leaf drop off all that Garden District canopy, plus the cleanup-and-mulch combination that sets beds up to look sharp through winter. Whatever the month, the start is the same: book online or call or text (318) 600-9123, and we will look at the property and quote it straight. Everything else we do in town, from mowing to pressure washing, is on the Monroe hub.
How a Monroe Bed Refresh Works
Walk-Through and Quote
We look at the beds with you — what stays, what goes, what the sun and shade will actually support — and put a real number on it the same day, not a vague range that grows later.
Clear and Prep
Weeds out by the root, dead material removed, old mulch dealt with, and bed edges re-cut so there is a clean line where the lawn stops and the bed begins.
Plant and Mulch
New plantings set where they can handle Monroe's heat, then a proper-depth mulch layer to lock in moisture and hold the weeds back through the long season.
Walk It With Us
You inspect the finished work before we leave. If something is off, say so — the guarantee is simple: not happy, we make it right.

Mulch Installation and Bed Refresh
From a single front bed to every bed on the property, installed at the depth that actually suppresses weeds and holds moisture — $150–$1,200 by bed size, edges re-cut included.
Hedge and Shrub Trimming
Mature hedges in the Garden District and River Oaks need shaping that respects decades of growth, not a flat-top buzz. We trim on a recurring cycle so the shape never gets away from you.
Flower Bed Design and Planting
New beds and replanted ones, designed around what survives a Monroe summer in your specific sun exposure — because a bed that looks great in April and dies in July is money wasted.
Seasonal and Storm Cleanup
Spring storm debris, fall leaf load off mature oak canopy, and the twice-a-year deep cleanups that keep an established property looking established rather than abandoned. Storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200.

Monroe Landscaping FAQs
How much does landscaping cost in Monroe, LA?
College Bros landscaping starts at $150 per visit in Monroe, with full projects typically ranging $200–$3,000 depending on scope. Within that, mulch installation runs $150–$1,200 by bed size and depth, and storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200 by debris volume. These are estimates — every property gets its own quote after a walk-through, and the complete price list is on the pricing page.
How much does mulch installation cost in Monroe?
Mulch installs in Monroe run $150–$1,200 with College Bros, depending on how many beds you have, their square footage, and the depth needed. The price includes prep — clearing weeds and re-cutting bed edges — not just dumping mulch on top of problems. A two-to-three-inch layer is the target: enough to hold soil moisture through a Louisiana summer and block weed germination, without smothering plant roots.
When should hedges be trimmed in Monroe, LA?
Most Monroe hedges and shrubs need trimming several times across the growing season, which runs roughly March through November here — full-sun shrubs can lose their shape within four to six weeks in summer. The practical approach is a recurring trimming cycle rather than one big annual cut, which stresses the plant and leaves it ragged in between. College Bros sets the cycle based on your specific plants and sun exposure, then keeps it on schedule.
Do you do flower bed cleanups in the Garden District?
Yes — Garden District beds are some of the most common landscaping work College Bros does, since the neighborhood's mature plantings and heavy oak canopy generate constant maintenance: leaf-buried beds in fall, weed pressure all season, and older shrubs that need careful shaping. Crews pass through the area daily from our Monroe headquarters, so cleanups and refreshes there schedule quickly. Schedule yours at /book or text (318) 600-9123.
Do you handle storm cleanup in Monroe?
Yes. Spring storms in Northeast Louisiana regularly drop limbs, strip foliage, and fill beds and lawns with debris, and College Bros runs storm cleanup across Monroe at $100–$1,200 depending on volume. Because the crews are headquartered in town, response after a storm is usually faster here than a contractor coming in from outside the area. Same-day response to every request; we will give you an honest timeline based on how widespread the damage is.
How soon can you start my landscaping project in Monroe?
You will hear back the same day you reach out, and most Monroe landscaping work — mulch, bed refreshes, hedge trimming, cleanups — starts within the week. Larger projects in the $200–$3,000 range get a walk-through and written quote first, then a scheduled start date. The fastest path is booking online; calling or texting (318) 600-9123 works just as well if you want to talk scope first.
