Monroe Lawn Mowing
Lawn Care in Monroe, LA From the Crew Headquartered Here
Our mowing trailers leave Bon Aire Drive every morning and work Monroe street by street. Weekly Basic cuts from $55, Premium with edging and weed control from $75.
Nobody mows more Monroe lawns from a shorter drive than we do. College Bros is headquartered in 71203, and the mowing routes radiate out from there every working day — through the Garden District, across River Oaks, around the Forsythe Park blocks, past the ULM campus, and up along Bayou DeSiard into Lakeshore. That proximity is a practical advantage, not a marketing line: a new address in any Monroe zip — 71201, 71202, 71203, 71211, or 71213 — usually drops straight into a loop a crew already runs, which is why quotes come back the same day and first cuts rarely wait past the week.
It also means the crews know which grass grows where before they unload the mower. The sunny, open lawns of River Oaks and the newer sections are Bermuda country — turf that thickens up under a low, frequent cut and thins out when it gets neglected. Flip over to the oak-shaded streets of the Garden District or the older blocks near Forsythe Park and you are looking at St. Augustine and centipede, which want the deck raised and the pace gentler; drop a shade lawn too short in July heat and the scars hang around until October. We change deck height between stops all day long, because running one blade setting across this town would shortchange half of it.
Two Packages, Priced by Yard Size
Every Basic visit includes the cut, string trimming at fences, beds, and mailbox posts, and a blow-off that leaves the concrete clean. Weekly Basic rates scale with yard size: $55 under a quarter acre, $80 up to a half acre, $105 up to an acre, and $140 past that, with one-time cuts from $75. Premium adds blade edging along driveways and curbs plus weed control in beds and cracks on every visit, from $75 a week. Most Monroe yards want weekly service from spring into early fall — between the heat, the humidity, and the afternoon rain, Bermuda here barely pauses for nine months — then biweekly once growth slows. The complete table is on the pricing page, the rest of what we do in town is on the Monroe hub, and a route spot is about a minute away at /book.
Why Monroe Yards Stay With College Bros
Home-Base Scheduling
Routes start and end in Monroe, so there are no trip fees, no waiting on a crew from out of town, and no skipped weeks that quietly become skipped months. If weather pushes a day, your yard is the easiest one on the map to catch up.
Deck Heights Set Per Yard
Bermuda in River Oaks gets cut low and often to stay dense. St. Augustine and centipede under the Garden District oaks get the taller, shade-friendly height that keeps them alive through August. The setting changes with the street, not the season.
ULM Rentals and Turnover Cuts
We started as ULM students and still handle the campus-area rental market: standing service for landlords, overgrown recovery cuts between tenants, and a single point of contact for every property you own in town. First cuts on overgrown lots are quoted by condition.
Leaf Season Under the Oaks
Mature canopy in the Garden District and around Forsythe Park buries lawns every November, and matted leaves smother shade turf over winter. Leaf removal runs $75–$600 depending on volume, and pairing it with your regular cut keeps the yard ahead of the drop.
Fertilization and Weed Control
A feeding and weed program timed to Northeast Louisiana's long growing season keeps turf thick enough to crowd weeds out on its own. It is the difference between a lawn that looks mowed and one that looks managed.

Monroe Lawn Mowing FAQs
How much does lawn mowing cost in Monroe, LA?
On a weekly schedule, College Bros charges $55 per visit for Monroe yards under a quarter acre, $80 for a quarter to half acre, $105 for a half acre up to a full acre, and $140 for properties over an acre on the Basic package, which covers the mow, string trimming, and blow-off. Bi-weekly and monthly visits run a little more per cut, one-time cuts start at $75, and the Premium package — edging and weed control on every visit — starts at $75 weekly. The final number depends on your specific lot, and the full table is published on the pricing page.
Do you mow lawns in the Garden District and River Oaks?
Yes — both neighborhoods are on daily College Bros routes, along with the Forsythe Park area, the ULM campus area, and Lakeshore along Bayou DeSiard. Garden District lawns are typically shaded St. Augustine or centipede and get a taller cut; River Oaks lawns are mostly full-sun Bermuda and get a lower, more frequent one. Send your address through /book and it slots into the route the crew is already running.
How soon can you start mowing my yard in Monroe?
Monroe is the fastest place we serve, because every crew dispatches from our shop here each morning. You will get a same-day response to any booking or call, and a first cut usually happens within the same week. We confirm an honest window based on the current schedule rather than promising a specific day, and recurring customers keep a consistent service day after that.
Should I mow weekly or biweekly in Monroe?
Weekly from roughly April through September if your lawn is Bermuda in full sun — Monroe's heat, humidity, and rain push it hard enough that two weeks of growth makes for a rough, clumpy cut. Shaded St. Augustine and centipede lawns, common in the Garden District and near Forsythe Park, grow slower and often do well biweekly all year. College Bros runs both cadences and will recommend one honestly after seeing your yard, and you can switch as the season changes.
Do you mow rental properties near the ULM campus?
Yes. The ULM campus area is original College Bros territory, and we service owner-occupied homes, student rentals, and full landlord portfolios there. That includes recurring mowing during leases and recovery cuts when a vacant unit's yard has gotten away — those first cuts are quoted on condition, after which the property moves to standard per-visit rates. One call or booking covers every address you manage in Monroe.
What happens if it rains on my mowing day in Monroe?
The crew shifts the route and catches your yard on the next workable day — mowing saturated turf rips it up and ruts the soil, so we do not force a cut in a downpour just to keep a calendar tidy. Spring storm weeks are common in Northeast Louisiana, and because Monroe crews are based in town, rain makeups here happen faster than anywhere else on our schedule. Your price does not change.
