You could use pots around them with tall enough plants to hide them and you can use them if the utility companies need to access them.
What kind of utility boxes? You need to call the businesses and find out what they allow. Some places (like our electric company) want clear and easy access to the meters.
These boxes are serious business, and there are often restrictions about what you can do near them, like bans on permanent structures and distances before you can plant anything. Make sure to follow these restrictions – the companies need access and underground wires need room to run free of roots.
