    Screen It

    Put a trellis in front of the utility box or air conditioner, and train your favorite flowers up it. Fold it carefully out of the way to reach the device. Cover the cable box completely with a removable trellis box, painted whichever shade of green predominates in your garden.Camouflage It

    Invest in an easy-to-move artificial rock, sized to fit over the cable box or utility access. Artificial rocks look much more natural now than those used on movie sets decades ago.Conceal It

    Plant slow-growing flowering shrubs in a precise hedge around the box. Leave a gap for access on the least visible side.

    All above ideas are great, just make sure the utility co has no restrictions.

    My neighbors have a utility box in their front yard, and they planted tall decorative grasses in front of it.
