Hi folks, remember me? I stop by the forum from time to time and read what you folks are up to.
I want to post a personal experience here. We too had a green box in our back yard and we too planted nice plants around it. In short order, the plants had blocked the box from our view.
Then, a lightening storm blew a couple of fuses in the box and the electric company came to replace them. The first thing the crew did was chop down our plants....TO THE GROUND.
After their work was done, they came to the house and informed us that we cannot put shrubs around the box, thus blocking access to the electric box. It is their easement and we have no right to plant there, and they have to have immediate access to the equipment.
Something to think about. See you all some time in the future.
