Build a useful property brief
Gather photos, an approximate layout and any known property-line information. Note slopes, existing structures and the sections you want to retain. Treat rough measurements as an estimate starting point; final dimensions and boundaries need confirmation before the installation is settled.
Decide what should be open or private
Consider views from the street, house and neighboring properties. Wood privacy fencing and open metal or chain-link layouts serve different purposes. You may not need the same treatment on every side, but transitions and gates should be designed together.
Ask about the complete scope
The material name is not enough to compare proposals. Discuss supports, gate construction, hardware, removal and finish. Share known neighborhood requirements and ask who handles any project-specific approvals. Keep those responsibilities clear before moving from an idea to a scheduled job.
