Factually, not true. The OP was asking how other Villagers landscape around the utility boxes. My post clearly addresses that question. I use no specific landscaping to hide the boxes. A lot of other Villagers do the same thing.

I planted so called dwarf fruit trees, 7 years later they looked like the regular fruit trees.

My neighbor is hiding one out front with a fake rock.....

We have two near the Cart Garage. Will stay exposed as they have been for 4 years. We live at Linden. South of 44. To many problems could develop.

Getting ready to sell our Maryland house and move to TV. I have covered several utility boxes with various sizes of fake rocks that I bought online from Amazon. They are made from some sort of durable plastic and are easy to pick up and move, but also heavy enough that they don’t blow away.

You can buy landscape screens that are temporary so can be removed when the utility company comes to check. They look nice and hide the boxes. Check Homedepot, Lowes and Amazon. They are sold to hide a.c. units but also work for utility boxes.

I believe it's 4ft.

Buy some of the plastic hedge panels that lowes sells. They can be removed easily

Try Lowes or Home Depot , they sell a fake hedge you just stick in the ground.

There's a box on the property line between my house and the neighbor's. It has some neat looking grasses and flowers surrounding it. They're all weeds since neither of us planted them. But they're pretty so they stay. If the utility company needs us to cut them down, we will. And then we'll ignore them again so they can grow back, until the next time the utility company needs to get in.

Put plants on the 3 sides blocking your view of them

I had a house where i build a ‘box’ out of lattice. I used zip ties to tie them together, it looked great - just slide over.

Call the Electric Company, then go to Community Standards and let them tell the real story. May save you in the long run!

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 !

Good advice, as some of our neighbors could tell you after their experiences with the utility people !
