Plant around it. Flowering bushes are always a great choice.
Serita: Shrubbery would be a great idea.
Pick shrubs for your climate zone tho!

If you go to Pinterest and type in "well covers" you will find numerous ideas! Things you can plant or build depending on your skills!
Our well is hidden by a wishing well the previous owners built over it. Something like that?
Maybe you can make an octangular trellis Surround with one section being hinged for access. Do some fun climbing plants.
Put a picket fence around it and then hang seasonal wreaths. Something similar to this project:

Build a hexagon bench around it.
Box it in using pallets, and put plants in the pallets to make it look pretty.
Hi Serita. We have a fake well over ours. We bought it several years ago at an outdoor craft show / farmer's market in southern Illinois. We store it in our shed during the winter months. Good luck Serita. Stay well and healthy.
Put up a fence around it so that it can't be seen as clearly
Hello,
I understand you can buy Faux Rocks that are hollow and would pop over it or for that matter anything like that you would want to hide. Best wishes.
Maybe this will help

Hello. Most times when I wish the screen something I use landscaping. There are several shrubs that grow that can screen off your well. The other thing would be is to build a physical barrier ..hopefully one choice might suit your aesthetic
I would camoflauge it with a cute faux dog house, bird house, or stump looking decor, or some kind of wooden decor that will brighten the yard . If you need ideas you could visit your local garden centers and get an idea of what they have that you would like to see in your yard or what would be easy for you to build or have a relative build it for you. Just some ideas. Hope this helps Serita :)
Thank you 😊
Before placing anything around the well, check with your county health or water and sewage departments if there are rules or restrictions as to what you can put over or around the well. We discovered that the planter a previous owner had built around the well head in a home we purchased were not permitted and had to be removed.
built the box out of pallets and surround it with some nice bushes to cover it all
