Hide a Utility Pole in Front Yard...

As pictured, we live in a rural area on a small street with utility poles. We have planted and grown many trees on our property on the sides or our house, along our drive, and around our backyard, preferring to keep the space directly in front of our house open.



We happen to have two potted trees, a Dwarf Alberta Spruce and an Arborvitae both about 3' tall, that need to go in the ground and we were considering planting them near the pole, to start a garden area, with the intention that the pole will get somewhat hidden in time.


We also have some doubts about this idea, those being:

- Planting anything near a utility pole may actually draw the eye there

- Planting something vertical in an attempt to hide something vertical and taller, may not work well

- Those two trees may not be the best choices to establish a garden to hide the pole


Would be great to get your collective input. We could find other locations to plant those trees, but we were wondering if this is a good use of them.


Thanks in advance for your help!
