Understanding Beaver Removal in Peachtree City
Peachtree City's extensive lake and pond system — Lake Peachtree, Lake Kedron, and dozens of HOA retention ponds — makes beaver management an ongoing concern. Cart path bridges and stormwater infrastructure are frequently damaged.
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.
What To Do Right Now
Do This
- Contact a licensed professional as soon as you notice dam-building activity or rising water levels
- Document the damage with photos and dates for your HOA board or insurance claim
- Protect valuable trees by wrapping trunks with wire mesh (at least 3 feet high)
- Consider flow control devices (pond levelers) for long-term water management
Don't Do This
- Do NOT simply remove the dam without removing the beavers — they'll rebuild it overnight
- Do NOT attempt to trap beavers without proper licensing — they are classified as furbearers in Georgia
- Do NOT wait to act — beaver damage escalates exponentially. A small dam becomes a major flood risk in weeks
- Do NOT assume the problem is solved after one trapping session — monitor for new beaver activity monthly

Dangers & Health Risks
Community-Wide Flooding
Beaver dams in stormwater systems can flood parking structures, basements, trails, and low-lying units — creating liability for HOAs and property managers.
Infrastructure Damage
Blocked culverts erode roads, bridges, retaining walls, and septic fields. Repair costs can reach tens of thousands.
Timber & Landscape Destruction
A single beaver can fell 200+ trees per year, destroying community landscaping and creating safety hazards.
Water Quality & Liability
Beaver ponds harbor Giardia and attract mosquitoes, creating health and legal liability for property managers.
How We Solve Your Beaver Removal Problem
Every situation is different, but our proven process ensures a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.
Site Assessment & Damage Evaluation
We survey the property, identify active beaver lodges and dam locations, assess infrastructure damage (culverts, roads, retaining walls), and provide a comprehensive report with photos for your board or property manager.
Licensed Trapping & Removal
Using legal, humane trapping methods approved by Georgia DNR, we remove beavers from the property. We hold all required state licenses and permits for furbearer management.
Dam Removal & Flow Control Installation
We strategically dismantle dam structures and install flow control devices (pond levelers, culvert guards) to maintain desired water levels and prevent future damming. We offer ongoing monitoring contracts for communities that need year-round protection.
Common in Peachtree City & Fayette County
Beavers are abundant across Metro Atlanta and West Georgia, particularly along creeks, rivers, retention ponds, and stormwater systems in suburban developments. Coweta, Fayette, Paulding, and Douglas counties see especially heavy beaver activity due to the extensive creek systems and newer residential communities built near waterways. Georgia DNR classifies beavers as furbearers — they can be legally trapped year-round by licensed operators. For HOAs and property managers, proactive beaver management is far more cost-effective than reactive emergency repairs.
Line Creek Nature Area, Flat Creek Nature Area, Lake Peachtree, Lake Kedron, and 100+ miles of wooded multi-use paths create an extensive urban-wildlife interface. HOAs frequently report beaver damage to cart path bridges and retention ponds. Squirrels and raccoons thrive in the heavily wooded lots. Bat colonies are found in homes near the lake areas.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
Most residential beaver removal projects in Peachtree City range from $800–$5,000
Cost depends on the number of beavers, dam size, extent of infrastructure damage, and whether flow control devices are needed. We provide free on-site assessments and detailed quotes tailored for HOA boards and property managers. Ongoing monitoring contracts are available for long-term management.
