Fire hydrant problem

I have a fire hydrant in my front yard and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of how I can (legally) make it less obvious...

That answer is best left to the local FD. Any suggestions such as planting, painting or decorations that would inhibit access on all sides could result in stiff fines and legal action.

Thanks- I understand the situation of access- I was just hoping for a few (simple) non-obstructing suggestions...

Here's a picture I found. I would first call your fire dept. and make sure you can do this. It is still accessible and looks good too.

Follow the rules the FD gives you. Some want nothing done with them but here in our city, some organization dresses them up like known cartoon characters. It is done only in certain areas. I would suggest that if you do plant flowers that you plant yellow ones so as not to obscure the red of the hydrant. Also, you know that if it is ever needed to fight a fire, anything you put out will be trampled!
