Manhole cover in middle of lawn

[DareIask]

It's so ugly.

It's also raised slightly and sticks out like a sore thumb. Pots just make it obvious.

Is there anything I can do to disguise it?

Chuck some pots of plants on it. That always helps. Or place your garden table over that area.

Oops. I missed the bit about pots only making it worse

I thought pots would do it but they look silly stuck where it is...

It's the front lawn so table not possible.

Make that area a flower bed and plant shrubs to cover it?
Raise surrounding grass so it is level?
Put a drive in so you car is parked on top of it?

I second raising the ground around it, I'd raise it not level but slightly higher.

You get one of these

They look good, thank you. Not convinced the turf would survive but worth considering.

Plastic turf?

How about putting something like a bird table on it?

do a search on pinterest under hiding drain covers!

i let the grass grow over mine

Sundial?

Could you paint it green with some metal paint so it would blend in a bit more?

My dad has a raised one which is access to the septic tank - he had pots for a while and now has a sculpture on it (access only required about every 5yrs) I was sceptical when he told me but actually it looks great.

That's what we do. Works a treat.
