About
Derek Rasmussen, Co-Owner
Derek Rasmussen is a co-owner of Green Up Irrigation and has over 8 years experience installing, servicing, and designing irrigation systems. Petoskey native Derek started working with irrigation when he was employed for his local municipality and took an interest in the troubleshooting aspect of irrigation system problems. His curiosity grew and he trained with and shadowed some of the larger irrigation companies in our area before starting to install systems on his own. Derek then went to work with one of the nation’s largest landscape supply wholesalers where he gained deep knowledge of products and industry leading techniques.
Derek and Zach founded Green Up Irrigation a short time later to bring a new irrigation and maintenance company to Northern Michigan. In his free time, Derek enjoys working on home improvement projects, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his wife Hannah and their daughter, Grace.
