The utility company came through our neighborhood a couple of years ago. They made people with "the big green boxes" (electric) in the rear cut away shrubs so the box can be seen from the street. They were very polite and explained the boxes must be visible in case of an emergency. Every box I have seen has instructions printed on them relative to plantings around them.
By the way, if you are buying a lot in a new area the underground utilities may not be in place. A box could suddenly appear.
