Turf Renovations

8/14/2024

Arlington National Cemetery annually renovates more than 30 acres of turf. This process involves removing the old turf and weeds, tilling the soil, grading the grave sites and planting new grass from seed. 

Starting this week, several sections will be under renovation by our Horticulture division. The result will be a healthier turf and ground that is more level. Please limit walking in these areas as much as possible, but feel free to visit gravesites in these sections.


Impacted Sections 

•  Sections 18 (south) and 20: Aug. 15 – Sept. 1

•  Sections 18 (north), 19 and 44: Aug. 19 – Early October
