Front Yard Project

Below are a couple of pictures of my front yard. Part of the yard has a drainage ditch in it and I would like to hide it as best as I can. I don't know if I can put a pipe in there to connect to 2 sides, but that may be an option. If not, what kind of plantings could I use to cover it up without it looking too awkward in my yard. Suggestions?

You can pipe it but depending on its purpose you may need permission from the city first. We did it at our place in Greensboro to a run-off ditch that feed into a lake. The city first tried to classify it as a stream and shut us down. We protested and they eventually reclassified and we could pipe it. It was an expensive, huge pain in the ass but it was much bigger and longer than what you have there. (If you do it, can I have the rock?)

Do you wanna hide all sides? this might require an on site consultation...
