Decorative drain covers
Discussion
Hi,
We have had an extension done recently (which included running some new drains) and I am doing the garden/patio work outside.
The builders have left some drains which are significantly less than pretty. They look like this:

They are all within the area which will be the lawn and are all slightly proud of the surface. Moving them will be quite difficult (!) but I am guessing that trimming them down slightly won't be hard and I can then put lids on which are more pleasing. What would anyone suggest? Also, what are such lids called? I simply don't know the term to feed into Google!
All suggestions welcome, thanks.
