Instance Privacy fencing options

It's kinda like cars. How fast do you want to go? How much money do you have?

Instant...Does not look bad....Cheap

Pick any two.

The big question....who owns the chain link fence? If you, then you can attach anything you want to it. If you don't own it....you can't touch it.

You can go 6' without a permit (I'm assuming LA County area). Even at 6', not that much privacy.

Why the big need for privacy?

Long term....your best bet is trees and shrubs.

Then don't do anything. The new owners may have different ideas. Chances are they would prefer something more permanent. The money and time you toss into it will not be returned.

I really doubt it will make that much of a difference. Looking at that yard, you have bigger issues with 'appearance' if you think the view past the fence is an issue.

You have 2 kinds of buyers.....those who want a 'ready to live in' place and don't want to do anything......and the others 'hey, we could do this and that and this'.....

Unless your house is a fixer-upper, there is not a big difference in the above prices. Based on what I've seen friends go through....the money they tossed at a house to 'raise the sale price' was more than the added value. In other words, they didn't get their money back. About the only exception is maybe landscaping and paint.

The 'ready to live in' buyers are typically a real PIA to deal with. They nick pick every detail.

The others....they see past the minor problems, see the potential and can envision the final product they want. That is the buyer you want.

I was looking at all that dirt. I'm guessing you are going to put down sod?

If so, that is the only thing I would do. Let the new owners figure out what they want.
