...an inspection cover in the garden.
I know you can't permanently cover up an inspection man hole for a public sewer pipe, but in my soon to be house there is one in the garden. How would you disguise it? Put the patio table there? Ornament? Can you buy circles of grass etc to pop over it?

Depends where it is, large plant pot with stunning plant in it, raised beds next to it and then continue run to include man hole but put large stones over it, birdbath, statue, bench just a few suggestions0

What sort of inspection cover is it, do you mean just an ordinary manhole ?
We've got a manhole in the back garden, for years we didn't even know it was there, it was only when doing some building work the drains needed altering.
Just spread an inch or two of soil on top and sprinkle some grass seed. If you're only going to need access every Preston Guild you can easily lift it up.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

It's just an inspection cover, about dinner plate size in the top corner of the lawn.
Bird bath!! Genious! That's the top runner at the moment, or possibly a bird tablethank you!

Planted Butler sink. Right size, right shape, covers them completely. Just remember how heavy such items are when you want to move them.0
