Homeowners are planning on installing a new backyard fence and are looking for advice on materials and labor. They would like to use something that is environmentally friendly and wondering whether to use real wood or a composite material. What pros and cons should they consider?

While they are thinking of doing the work themselves they are also curious about what costs other homeowners have paid for professionally installed fences.
