West Monroe Landscaping
Landscaping in West Monroe, LA
Mulch, flower beds, hedge trimming, and seasonal cleanups for established West Monroe yards — from $150, with a same-day response every time you reach out.
Drive the older streets of West Monroe and you can read each yard's history in its plantings — azaleas that have anchored the same front bed for decades, hollies grown shoulder-high against foundations near the Antique Alley area, bed lines that lost their edge one season at a time. Yards like that do not need a crew that rips everything out and starts over. They need maintenance with judgment behind it: knowing what to cut back, what to mulch, what to replace, and what to leave alone. That is the landscaping work College Bros Outdoor Services does across West Monroe — zips 71291, 71292, and 71294 — with the insured crews behind a 4.8 Google rating across 48 reviews.
Beds, Mulch, Hedges, and Cleanups — Priced in the Open
Landscaping visits in West Monroe start at $150, and complete projects typically land between $200 and $3,000 depending on scope. Mulch installation runs $150–$1,200 by bed size and material, and a proper install is more than emptying bags: bed edges get re-cut to a clean line, weeds come out at the root, and mulch goes down deep enough to starve the next round of weeds while holding soil moisture through the meanest weeks of July. Hedge and shrub trimming keeps mature plantings shaped without butchering them. Seasonal cleanups reset the whole property, with leaf removal running $75–$600 by volume. Every one of those figures sits on the pricing page before you ever contact us.
The West Monroe Variables We Plan Around
Three local conditions shape most of the bed work on this side of the Ouachita River. Shade comes first: the tree cover across the Kiroli Park area keeps beds cooler and damper than open lots, which changes both what thrives there and how much fungus pressure the mulch has to fight. Leaf volume is second — that same canopy buries beds every November, and leaves left matted through winter smother shrubs underneath. Turf aggression is third: on the sunnier lots out in Claiborne, Bermuda runs hard from May through September and will colonize a soft bed edge within weeks, so we cut edges deep with a spade line rather than just blowing the border clean. Spring adds a fourth variable — squall lines that strip limbs and scatter debris across beds overnight. Storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200, and we haul off everything we clear.
Getting on the schedule is the easy part: book online, or call or text (318) 600-9123. You will hear back the same day, work usually happens within the week, and the standing promise applies to every job — not happy? We will make it right.
Landscaping We Do in West Monroe
Mulch Installation & Bed Refresh
Edges re-cut, weeds pulled at the root, overgrowth trimmed back, and fresh mulch laid at a depth that actually suppresses weeds — $150–$1,200 depending on bed size and material. On the established beds common near downtown and Antique Alley, this one visit does more for curb appeal than anything else on the menu.
Hedge & Shrub Trimming
Mature azaleas, hollies, and foundation shrubs shaped with their bloom cycles in mind — spring bloomers get cut right after they flower so next year's show survives. All clippings leave with us, and the beds get raked out before we go.
Flower Bed Design & Planting
New beds and replants built from plants that shrug off a Louisiana August. We match selections to the light your beds actually get — shade-tolerant picks for the wooded Kiroli Park area lots, sun-lovers for the open yards in Claiborne.
Leaf Removal & Seasonal Cleanups
West Monroe's canopy makes leaf season a real event. Removal runs $75–$600 by volume, and clearing leaves before they mat down protects both the shrubs they bury and the shade turf they smother. Most customers book a full cleanup twice a year.
Storm Cleanup
After a spring squall rolls through Ouachita Parish, we clear downed limbs, rake the debris out of beds and turf, and haul all of it away — typically $100–$1,200 depending on what the storm left behind.
What West Monroe Beds Need, Season by Season
- Spring — Fresh mulch before the heat locks in, azaleas trimmed immediately after bloom, and bed edges re-cut ahead of the Bermuda surge. This is the busiest window of the year, so early booking pays off.
- Summer — Weed patrol and mulch-depth checks. Beds mulched properly in spring hold moisture through 95-degree stretches; thin spots bake and sprout weeds.
- Fall — Leaf removal, especially under the heavy cover around Kiroli Park, plus the best planting window of the year — shrubs set in fall root in over a mild winter instead of fighting summer from day one.
- Winter — Cutbacks on spent growth and a pre-spring reset so beds wake up clean instead of buried.

West Monroe Landscaping Questions
How much does landscaping cost in West Monroe, LA?
College Bros landscaping in West Monroe starts at $150 per visit. Mulch installation runs $150–$1,200 depending on bed size and material, leaf removal runs $75–$600 by volume, storm cleanup runs $100–$1,200, and complete projects typically total $200–$3,000. The firm number for your yard depends on bed footage, plant count, and haul-off, and you will have it in writing before any work starts. The full table is on the pricing page.
What does a mulch install in West Monroe include?
Every College Bros mulch job starts with prep, because mulch dumped on weedy, blurred-edge beds just hides problems for a month. We re-cut the bed edge with a clean spade line, pull weeds out at the root, trim back anything overhanging the bed, then lay mulch at the depth needed to block weeds and hold moisture through summer. Debris is hauled off, not piled at your curb. Jobs run $150–$1,200 based on bed size and the material you pick.
When should azaleas and hedges be trimmed in West Monroe?
Azaleas should be trimmed within a few weeks after their spring bloom finishes, because they set the following year's flower buds over the summer — a late-season cut removes next spring's show. Evergreen hedges like hollies and boxwood are different: West Monroe's heat and humidity keep them pushing new growth from early spring deep into fall, so they need shaping several times a year to hold a line. College Bros times each cut to the plant in front of us, not to a fixed calendar.
Do you do landscaping in the Kiroli Park area and Claiborne?
Yes — College Bros landscaping routes cover all of West Monroe, including the Kiroli Park area, Claiborne, and the blocks around Antique Alley and downtown. The work skews different by neighborhood: shade beds and heavy fall leaf work near Kiroli Park, larger open beds and longer edge lines out in Claiborne, and careful refreshes on the established plantings closer to downtown. Send your address through /book and we will confirm your spot on the route.
Do you clean up storm debris in West Monroe?
Yes. Spring storms in Northeast Louisiana regularly drop limbs and scatter leaf litter across yards on both sides of the river, and College Bros handles the aftermath: limbs cut and removed, beds and turf raked out, and everything hauled away in one visit. Storm cleanup typically runs $100–$1,200 depending on how much came down. Reach out the day it happens — you will get a same-day response, and cleanup usually lands within the week.
How soon can College Bros start on my West Monroe beds?
You will hear back the same day you book or call, and because crews already work West Monroe daily, most landscaping jobs begin within the week. The one caveat is spring — mulch and cleanup season books up fast across 71291, 71292, and 71294, so customers who schedule in late winter get the best pick of dates. Book at /book or call or text (318) 600-9123.
Give the Beds the Same Attention as the Lawn
Fresh mulch, shaped hedges, or a full seasonal reset — book it online in about a minute and a West Monroe crew will usually have it done within the week. Rather talk it through first? Text or call (318) 600-9123.
