In 1957, entrepreneur Ev Katerberg opened one of the area's first companies offering installation of underground lawn sprinkler systems. His early projects included stately homes, office complexes and government building throughout Grand Rapids. An early innovator, he developed a reputation for quality design, workmanship and customer service. Many of his earliest installations are still in operation today. Today, Ev Katerberg's son Will and grandson Aaron carry on the family tradition of excellence in irrigation at Grapids Irrigation.
