    Commercial Landscape Installation

    • Read Bio

      With a deep-rooted passion for landscaping, my journey in the industry began in 2009 when I
      founded SNM Lawncare & Landscaping in Granby, CT. Over the years, I built a business that
      handled everything from lawn maintenance to complete design-build projects and large-scale
      landscape construction—both residential and commercial. My focus has always been on
      creating strong relationships with customers, ensuring each project was completed with care,
      quality, and attention to detail.

      In December 2022, I decided to explore new opportunities in commercial construction, leading
      me to my current role as Director of Commercial Landscape Installation at D.W. Burr Landscape
      & Design Inc. I take pride in leading my team with a strong work ethic and a personable
      approach, making both team members and clients feel comfortable and understood throughout
      every stage of a project.

      Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking with my German Shorthaired Pointer, Chance, or enjoying
      the outdoors on my mountain bike, ATV, spending time with family and friends or working
      around the neighboring farm at my home in Granby—one that I hope to own someday.

      My name is Joseph Anderson, and I am the Director of Turfgrass Management at DW Burr
      Landscaping and Design. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Sustainable Plant and Soil
      Science with a concentration in Turfgrass Management from the University of Connecticut.

      During my time at UConn, I served as President and Secretary of the UConn Turf Club, where I
      played an active role in fundraising efforts to support our participation in the National Turfbowl
      Exam, an annual competition among universities and institutions.

      Upon graduating, I accepted a position at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, as a
      Senior Assistant Superintendent, working under one of the most respected Golf Course
      Superintendents in the industry. In this role, I was responsible for overseeing daily course
      maintenance, managing up to 40 employees during peak season, and implementing Integrated
      Pest Management (IPM) strategies, plant health protectant rotations, and soil fertility
      modifications to optimize turfgrass growth.

      With over a decade of experience in the golf industry, I have had the opportunity to work at
      several world-renowned golf courses, including Merion Golf Club, TPC Sawgrass Players
      Course, and The Apawamis Club, as well as prestigious private clubs such as The Club at
      Cordillera in Colorado and The Country Club of Waterbury. Additionally, I have volunteered at
      multiple PGA Tour tournaments, assisting with data collection of ball speed, firmness, and soil
      moisture at more than five venues, and had the honor of hosting the 2022 Curtis Cup at Merion
      Golf Club’s East Course.

      Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about the outdoors. In my free time, I enjoy
      listening to alternative music, fishing, hiking, grilling, and spending time with family and friends.
