Bella Turf, like all artificial grass, requires an infill to create a stable base that supports the blades, keeping them upright and maintaining their resilience through years of use.
Without infill, the lifespan of the grass is significantly reduced because the wear affects both the base of the product and the blades themselves. Infill is essential as it enhances the “life” and longevity of your artificial grass surface.
Which Artificial Grass Infill should I choose?
If you’re starting your next artificial grass project, you’re going to need more than just artificial grass! Luckily Bella Turf is a one-stop shop for all of your artificial turf supplies and artificial putting green needs.
You have 3 choices of infill to choose from:
PureZEO Pro
PureZEO Pro is Bella Turf’s top selling infill and is recommended for any artificial grass installation. PureZEO Pro is 100% Zeolite; a natural and organic infill that is completely safe for both the environment and your furriest of friends.
If you have a pet, PureZEO Pro is a must have – the Zeolite minerals will absorb any ammonia in the urine while preventing foul odors. PureZEO Pro also captures and holds moisture, releasing it slowly throughout the day.
With the slow release of moisture, PureZEO Pro is able to prevent artificial grass from getting too hot, keeping the artificial grass more enjoyable during hot summer days.
If you’re looking for the perfect infill for your artificial grass installation, PureZEO Pro should be your top choice – your pets will love you for it!
Silica Sand
Landscape Silica Sand makes for a great all purpose artificial grass infill when aesthetics are the only concern.
It will weigh your grass down and keep the blades standing upright.
The finer Putting Green Silica Sand is used in artificial grass putting greens to control the speed of the ball roll. We offer both 20/40 and 50/100 mesh for artificial grass and putting green usage.
Wonderfill® Infill
Wonderfill® is safe for your pets and family.
It is a naturally round sand with a ZINC OMADINE® ZOE™ infused vinyl coating that is effective against bacteria, mold, mildew and algae all while being long-lasting and durable. Wonderfill is non-absorbant and will minimize the associated odors caused by pet urine.
Wonderfill® can be used to infill artificial lawns, putting greens, and playgrounds. It keeps turf looking new and natural. Wonderfill® is well graded to ensure excellent drainage.

Extra Information About Artificial Grass Infill
- To calculate bags of infill needed for your project, use the equation below:
- Square feet of turf x infill weight ÷ bag weight = number of bags required
- Silica Sand – 50lbs | Wonderfill – 50lbs | PureZEO Pro – 44lbs
- For pet applications, add 0.5 lbs of PureZEO Pro per sqft as skim coat under the grass.
- For optimized application, we recommend a blend of 2/3 of the required infill weight of PureZEO Pro as base infill and 1/3 of the required infill weight of Wonderfill as a top dress. This will provide a nice green finish coat.
