What can be used to create more privacy around a backyard without making it feel closed in?

We moved into our house a while ago and one thing that keeps bothering is how exposed our backyard feels. Our neighbors windows look directly into our yard so it is hard to spend some time outside without worrying about anyone. I thought about planting trees but that will take years to grow to cover everything. Now I am thinking of getting a vinyl or block fence installation but not sure if that is the suitable option. What worked well for you and is there anything that I am missing before making a decision?
