I totally understand about the utility boxes in the back yard and agree that disguiseing them with plantings is a great idea, but as I said its way too close to the exit door of the Lanai and it seems too close to even plant shrubs around it. Thats my dilema. Does anyone know of some kind of a code saying how close it can be to a dwelling?
