Army National Military Cemeteries (ANMC) renovates approximately 30 acres of turf each year. The process involves removing old turf, adding soil amendments, tilling and regrading gravesites, and sowing new grass seed.
From July 15 to Oct. 15, 2026, ANMC's Horticulture team will renovate Sections 3, 14, 22, 23, 41, 46S, 52, 54W and 81 of Arlington National Cemetery. In addition, Sections K and L at the Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery will undergo turf renovations.
This work will result in healthier turf and more level ground. Please limit walking in these areas as much as possible. However, you are welcome to continue visiting gravesites in these sections.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to maintain these hallowed grounds.
