Lawn Mowing in Sterlington, LA
Lawn Care in Sterlington for New Sod, Big Lots, and Busy Weekends
Weekly Basic cuts from $55 with trimming and blow-off built in — Premium adds edging and weed control. Our mowing routes already roll through 71280 every week.
Sterlington lawns mostly fall into two camps. The new builds carry builder-grade Bermuda or centipede sod laid over compacted fill, where the first couple of growing seasons decide whether that turf knits in thick or thins out and lets weeds take over. The established places — particularly shadier lots out toward the Ouachita River — tend to run older centipede and St. Augustine that wants a taller, gentler cut under mature trees. College Bros mows both the way they need to be mowed, and weekly Basic service starts at $55 for small yards, with one-time cuts from $75.
Northeast Louisiana does not make it easy on either camp. The growing season stretches from early spring deep into fall, and one wet week in June or July can push Bermuda past shaggy and into jungle. Because our crews already drive through Sterlington on weekly routes, your yard never waits on a special trip — it just gets added to a loop we are running anyway. Each stop is the complete job: deck lines across the lawn, string trimming around the fence, the mailbox, and the beds, and every hard surface blown clean before the trailer door shuts — and Premium customers get a blade edge along the driveway and walks plus weed control on every visit.
We also know Sterlington runs on a ballpark calendar. When spring and summer Saturdays disappear into tournament days at the Sterlington Sports Complex, the last thing anyone wants waiting at home is a lawn chore. Nobody needs to be there when we mow — keep the gate unlatched and pets inside, and you will come home to fresh stripes instead of a to-do list. The quickest way onto the route is to book online; full rates are on the pricing page, and our Sterlington hub covers everything else we do in town.
What Sterlington Mowing Includes
Cut Heights Matched to Your Turf
Bermuda gets mowed low and frequent to stay dense; centipede prefers a modest height and a light touch; St. Augustine in the shade is left taller so it can feed itself. Wrong heights are the fastest way to stress a Louisiana lawn in August heat, so we set the deck per yard, not per route.
New-Sod Programs for New Builds
Fresh sod on a new-construction lot needs sharp blades, conservative heights, and a consistent schedule while roots establish in that compacted subsoil. We treat first-season sod differently than mature turf, because replacing a dead lawn costs a lot more than mowing one correctly.
The Whole Visit, Every Visit
String trimming and blow-off are part of the per-visit price, never line items — fence lines and tree rings stay tight, and your concrete is clear of clippings when we pull away. On the Premium package, driveway and sidewalk edges stay blade-crisp and beds and cracks get weed treatment every visit.
Fertilization & Weed Control
Feeding and weed treatments timed to the long Northeast Louisiana season help young Sterlington lawns thicken up and established ones hold their ground. Dense turf is the best defense against the weeds that move into thin sod first.
Leaf Removal & Recovery Cuts
Mature lots near the river drop serious leaves each fall — removal runs $75–$600 by volume and lot size. Got a yard that escaped over a busy stretch? Recovery cuts are quoted by condition, then most owners settle into a normal weekly or biweekly rate.

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.
Sterlington Lawn Mowing FAQs
How much does lawn mowing cost in Sterlington, LA?
Expect $55 a week if your Sterlington yard is under a quarter acre, $80 for a quarter to half acre, $105 between a half acre and a full acre, and $140 above an acre on the Basic package — every price includes mowing, string trimming, and blowing. Bi-weekly and monthly schedules run slightly more per cut, one-time cuts start at $75, and Premium service with edging and weed control starts at $75 weekly. The exact number depends on your property, and the complete table is on the pricing page.
How often should new sod in Sterlington be mowed?
Once new sod has rooted enough that you cannot lift a corner, it should be mowed regularly at a conservative height — for most Sterlington builds that means weekly during the warm months, removing no more than about a third of the blade at a time. Letting fresh Bermuda or centipede sod get tall and then scalping it down is one of the most common ways new lawns fail here. College Bros sets a sod-safe height and cadence for the first season, then transitions your yard to a standard schedule.
Do you mow in Sterlington every week?
Yes — College Bros mowing routes pass through Sterlington and zip 71280 weekly, year-round during the growing season. You can choose a weekly or biweekly cadence: weekly suits most Bermuda lawns from spring through early fall, while biweekly fits shaded centipede and St. Augustine yards and slower-growth months. Since the trucks are already in town, recurring Sterlington customers keep a consistent service day.
What grass types do you cut in Sterlington?
The three turf types we see most across Sterlington are Bermuda — the default sod on newer construction — plus centipede and St. Augustine on established and shaded lots. Each gets a different mowing height and schedule: short and frequent for Bermuda, moderate for centipede, taller for St. Augustine. If you are not sure what is growing in your yard, the crew will identify it on the first visit and set the program accordingly.
Do I have to be home when you mow my lawn?
No. Most Sterlington customers are at work, running kids to practice, or spending the day at the Sports Complex when we service their yards. As long as the crew can access the lawn — gate unlocked, pets indoors, cars off the grass — the visit happens with or without you, and we close gates behind us. Many customers' only evidence we came is the finished yard.
How soon can you start mowing in Sterlington?
College Bros answers every Sterlington request the same day, and first cuts usually happen within the week because crews are already routing through 71280. Exact timing depends on the current schedule, so we confirm your slot rather than guessing. Booking online is the fastest path; calling or texting (318) 600-9123 works just as well if you would rather talk through lot size and cadence first.
