Turf Renovations

3/21/2025

Arlington National Cemetery renovates approximately 30 acres of turf each year. This process involves removing the old turf, adding amendments to the soil, tilling and re-grading the gravesites, and then sowing new grass 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 46, 24, 21 and 14 (March 24 – May 1)
