Place Faux Boulders and Consider Utility Access

What happens here

Once acquired, carefully lift each artificial boulder and position it directly over the utility box you intend to hide. Ensure the boulder completely covers the box from all visible angles and sits stably on the ground without wobbling. You may need to slightly adjust the surrounding mulch or landscaping to make the boulder appear more natural. However, it is crucial to consider the implications of covering these boxes. As highlighted by several utility workers in the video's comments, obstructing access to "splice boxes" or other vital infrastructure can lead to significant issues during midnight trouble calls or routine maintenance, causing frustration and delays. Some comments also warn that local laws and codes may prohibit obstructing vital infrastructure utilities, potentially leading to fines or removal by the city or utility company, as it is "not your property, it's the city's."

Goal: Conceal utility boxes while being aware of legal and practical challenges.
