Etymology
舗 combines 舎 (building) and 甫, which likely contributes the sound. The character originally referred to a shop or store, and later also came to mean paving, possibly from the idea of laying a solid floor.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 舎 suggests a building, and the right side 甫 looks like a paved surface with a roller. Picture a shop with a freshly paved entrance.
Reading mnemonic
For ホ, imagine a shop that sells only whole hoes: hoe -> ホ, and the store is paved with gardening tools.
