Disguising electrical and utility boxes

Hello all. Hopefully I am posting this in the right forum :)

I have unsightly green utility boxes out in my front yard. There are three of them in a cluster. I know I shouldn't plant anything around them, so that access is readily available, but I was wondering if I could build a 'boulder' that would cover them up, yet be light enough for two people to lift off the boxes. Has anyone ever heard of this being done? I researched Hypertufa, but think that would be too heavy to lift off. I was thinking about loosely wrapping the boxes in chicken wire, paper mache-ing them, and then covering with that spray foam stuff, but I wasn't sure how resilient they'd be to weather. Would it work? Are there any options out there that don't include purchasing a pre-fab rock (they are EXPENSIVE!!) Thanks in advance!!
