Beaver Removal for HOAs & Landowners in Johns Creek, GA

Johns Creek's Chattahoochee River frontage and community water features attract beaver activity. Upscale HOAs along the river and near Autrey Mill deal with damming and tree loss.

Beaver problems are fundamentally different from any other wildlife issue we handle — and they require a completely different approach. Beavers don't invade your attic or chew your wiring. Instead, they reshape entire waterways, flood property, destroy timber, and undermine infrastructure. A single beaver can fell over 200 trees in a year and build dams that redirect thousands of gallons of water. For HOAs, apartment complexes, and landowners across Metro Atlanta and West Georgia, beaver damage isn't a nuisance — it's an infrastructure emergency.

We work with HOA boards and property management companies throughout the metro area, and the story is almost always the same: the retention pond starts rising, the culvert is mysteriously blocked, parking lots or walking trails start flooding, and suddenly there's a $30,000 problem that nobody saw coming. We worked with an HOA in Fayette County where beavers dammed a culvert that fed the community's stormwater system. Within weeks, two parking areas were flooded, a retaining wall was undermined, and the HOA was facing a six-figure repair bill. Early intervention would have cost a fraction of that.

The key to effective beaver management is understanding that removal alone is temporary. Beavers are territorial, and new beavers will move into an unoccupied habitat within months. That's why we combine trapping with flow control devices — pond levelers, beaver deceivers, and culvert guards — that allow water to flow at the desired level without giving beavers the incentive to rebuild. It's science-based wildlife management, not just trapping. For communities and landowners who need long-term solutions, this integrated approach is the only thing that works.
