1. Fencing - Fencing is great because there's a lot of options, and you can choose the height and width you need more easily. Also, if you're looking to save money, this is a good DIY option. Skim through Pinterest and look at what some other people have done with their fences.

2. Landscaping - There are lots of options you have to add in some privacy landscaping. Incorporating stones or a mixed garden is common. Putting in a strategically placed shed or covered patio area can also be a good alternative for landscaping.

3. Lattice - If you're big on plants and flowers, lattice will likely suit your taste. There are several different types of lattice, and if you're a DIY type of person, you could even make your own at a low cost. Plant flowers that have climbing vines like morning glories, and before you know it you won't even be able to see through your lattice.

Just be sure to always read the dimensions of the plant prior to planting it, and make sure you space the plants accordingly. Hydrangeas and butterfly bushes are quite common plants for privacy that look gorgeous!
