This is a perfect example of focusing on the wrong issue.

You have options:

• Paint it a dark grey-green color to blend with your lawn, which needs attention.
• Create a planting bed to hide the pipe with tall perennials
• Cover it with a faux rock sold online.

Before I spend a dime on that, I'd paint the garage to diminish its appearance.

I like la la girl's idea since the grass does not look happy there anyway no loss. IMO the less grass the better

Hi, Maybe an irrigation box. That is a box with no bottom. Don"t buy it yet just measure it out. This fix would involve digging a hole, cutting the pipe , gluing an adapter with a threaded cap that will end up a couple of inches below the surface. When done surface will be level and you can run a lawnmower over it. Just a thought.

Good Luck Woodbutcher

Thanks everyone for the great advice! Side note: we just started lawn treatment to get it looking nice and healthy, lol.

Christine, as mentioned here, ours is hidden just slightly below the surface. You might look into that. Not too long ago we did have a sewer clog. Prior to that I’d never even noticed where the cleanout was.

We have one too. You can still see it, but I don’t think it’s too noticeable with the grasses surrounding it. As an aside, some of the grasses and plantings are native, which is good for the pollinators, etc, and some are not. However, be mindful when purchasing grasses etc, that you buy the clumping, and not the spreading kind that take over everything.

I have a well head sticking up out of the ground. I bought 2 large decorative planters and turned one upside down over the pipe and put the other right-side up and planted flowers in. Around it I put a small garden. You could also fill the planter with water and add a solar fountain.

Lots of birdbaths have hollow bottoms. I'd put a bird bath over it and surround the birdbath with flowers. The purple salvias and Russian sage of @Mrs. Beasley look good. Alternatively, some creeping phlox for a spring bloom planted with summer-blooming alliums in it, along with later-blooming asters.

I'd cut it off and recess the access to flush or slightly below the surface.

Can you make this flush with the ground and put a dark green cover on it?
