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. The result will be a healthier turf and ground that is more level.

Turf renovations are currently underway in Section 21, but will be paused for Memorial Day. Please limit walking in Section 21, but feel free to visit gravesites there.
