Hello! First time on here and hoping for some help.

My husband and I just moved into our first home and are hoping to increase some privacy in our yard this spring (and just generally make it look nicer).

As you can see in the pictures, the fencing is pretty bad. There really isn't any fence on the left side, just some sparse cedar bushes. There are a lot of trees and bushes on either side of the existing chain link fence at the back, which makes replacing that part of fence really difficult aside from chopping everything down which I'm sure our neighbours wouldn't agree to anyway. The piece of fence facing the road is lumber posts with some kind of cheap metal panel.

I'd like to at least replace the piece of fence bordering the road because it's a real eye sore, but I think we are probably looking at other privacy solutions for the other two edges, certainly at the back.

Any ideas are more than welcome! I've looked at doing some raised beds with trellises as an option but I really have no clue where to start. Just hard to envision it!
