asphalting
Laying black pavement
Asphalting is the process of covering a surface with asphalt—the dark, tar-like material used for roads and pavements.
The term appears in construction contexts: The asphalting of the parking lot will begin Monday.
In British English, asphalting competes with tarmacking for the same meaning.
