Yes--our lines are underground--but, of course, every few homes, there are these ugly, large boxes above ground where they can get to the connections if something happens. See picture! And these sit precisely in the property lines between the 2 houses--so neither owner can do anything about it.
When we first moved in to our house--i wanted to hide these with some kind of shrubs--but you are not supposed to dig around these....Talk about one's "Garden Sculptures"....UGH!!!!

The smaller one is the telephone box. The big one is the electric.

What i also hate is all the endless red, yellow, orange, etc. spray paint all over my lawn and sidewalk and on the driveway to show where the lines go. The paints on the concrete seem to never go away.

My front yard is to the right. i am standing on my neighbor's driveway to take this picture.
