I am looking to replace a wooden fence that is falling apart as well as asphalting the parking pad situated just outside the fence. But I would like to move the new fence back onto the parking pad by about 2 feet. What do i do first, the asphalt or the fence or do I hire a company that will do both?

I would do the asphalt first and the fence after because it's a more "delicate" job. If you hire one company to do both you're risking compromising the quality or the price.

In a perfect world I would recommend

1. Install fence posts

2. Have all asphalt work completed

3. Finish fence construction

This should be easy to arrange as most fence contractors install the posts then wait a week or so before completion of the fence.

Hope this helps

You won't find many firms who do ashfault and build wood fences.

You can have the pad finished first. Then have the posts over the pad built on deep metal post mounts.

If there was a company that did both- i wouldn't recommend.

-First the fence post should be installed.

-ashplat should then be done going around the post

-fence pickets etc. should then be installed.
