Thanking you in advance!!!
You better check out anything you are thinking of doing with the utilities. Our neighbors had to remove their banana tree which they planted in their own yard to enhance the view from their lanai and "hide" the box to some degree. Then other neighbors were made to have their shrubs removed (at some expense since they were tall and mature) because they were found to be too close to the utility box... though they were a considerable distance from the actual box !
