Does anyone else have an unsightly/unsafe Utility pole in their yard? I'm so nervous my son will run into this one day.

I was thinking of doing some landscaping around the cable and pole. Was hoping to see what others may have done with this issue to help hide it.

Would love to see some pictures.

I did nothing. On the list of things to worry about this actually never occurred to me to worry about.

You can get bubble wrap really cheap at the UHaul places.

The metal is completely rusted and not something you want in the middle of your backyard.

I’m pretty sure you are supposed to leave access for company to work on wires and such. Blocking it with landscaping may be “against the law”.

You have a pole in the MIDDLE of your backyard? Didn't notice wires coming from the pole when you looked at the house?

Hey Twingles,
Its not LITERALLY in the MIDDLE but something that bothers me so instead of making it look trashy with putting "bubble wrap" around it I was hoping to see what others did.

Thank you for your suggestion on the bubble wrap though.

You keep using that phrase, I don't think it means what you think it means.
