Manhole in middle of garden

namloc1980

Have this manhole in the middle of the back garden. Any ideas to make it less unsightly?

place a bird feeder on a pedestal on it!

You could look at replacing it with a green plastic cover, so it blends in a bit better

+1 for bird feeder or maybe a bird bath to cover it

...or maybe fake grass cover, with bird paraphernalia....

Build a flower bed around it..

If you want to totally hide it without having an obstacle in the middle of the lawn you can replace the cover with one that is a deep tray. The tray is filled with soil and grows grass like the rest of the lawn. High cost probably about €250 for the cover plus a lot of labour to install it.

I did see a picture somewhere online of one with the grass pulled back exposing the concrete and the lit painted red with spots and legs painted on the concrete so it looked like a giant ladybird. Which makes me wonder if painting the cover green would help make it less obvious.

Easiest option is just clean it back with a wire brush on a drill. Give it a coat of green paint.
