Turf Renovations

ANC renovates approximately 30 acres of turf each year. When you encounter one of the “Turf Renovation In Progress” signs, renovations are taking place. Please feel free to place flowers at a gravesite, but we ask that you limit walking in these areas as much as possible.

The process of renovation involves removing the old turf, adding amendments to the soil, tilling and re-grading the gravesites, and then sowing new grass seed. This will result in a healthier and thicker stand of turf and ground that is more level. With favorable weather, the new turf begins to germinate in early autumn, and full coverage is achieved before winter.
