Plant perennials around it, leave space for them to grow, keep them away from the box. Indian Hawthorne is a low growing bush that doesn't get overly big .

You could build a wooden wishing well around it.

Check with your local company that cares for it. They may have suggestions of how to hide it and still have easy access to the box. They may have some restrictions, but they probably have seen many that are landscaped properly and can give you options that are good for you.

Sandy · Answer

in my neighborhood people just landscape around them. Since it's pretty big, I would do something on the front that would hide it.

Check with the electric company first. I have one too and the best I can do is potted plants.

Matthew D. Herz · Answer

Why not build an old fashioned wooded well around it. It will look good and someone can always lift it off if they need to get at the transformer. You can use the well to display your house number too.

Claire Amirault · Answer

I would plant a low growing bush on either side of it. We have a much bigger one in our yard for our air conditioner and twenty years ago we planted a holy tree /bush in front of it. It's pretty big now, about 7 ft and very wide. Every year before xmas I'm able to pick the beautiful holly for decorating. It's the gift that keeps on giving...
