The 15 Year Limited Warranty on Bella Turf Landscape Artificial Grass begins when the artificial grass is purchased. The grass must be installed in accordance with Bella Turf’s installation guidelines and specifications. The grass must be maintained in accordance with Bella Turf’s maintenance recommendation and such maintenance continued throughout the warranty period.
The 15 Year Warranty is further limited to the period of time in which the turf is owned and maintained by the original purchaser. The basis of any warranty related claim is the original authorized dealer invoice. Damage resulting from the failure to follow these instructions will not be covered under this warranty. Installation guidelines and specifications along with turf care recommendations can be obtained from your dealer or from Bella Turf’s website, bellaturf.ca.
What does the 15 year Limited Warranty cover?
Blade Degradation
Bella Turf warrants that its artificial grass, when installed and maintained as recommended for proper use, will not display ultraviolet degradation, resulting in blade deterioration or loss. (Failure is defined as the loss of 50% of the tufted product’s blade, based on the original weight of the product at the time of manufacturing, per test method ASTM D5848).
Actual degradation will cause a deterioration of the yarn and loss of pile height. Failure does not include a decrease in pile height of the face yarn as a result of surface compression due to normal wear.
Backing – Tuft Bind and Delamination
Bella Turf warrants that under normal use, when installed and maintained as recommended Bella Turf; our landscape artificial grass will meet industry standards for tuft bind and will not delaminate from the face of the turf. Note: The construction, blade and backing used are designed and engineered for use for general landscape applications only.

The original purchaser should notify the authorized Bella Turf Dealer and submit in writing, the following:
- A valid proof of purchase or other documents which establish proof of purchase.
