When applying sealer to a driveway, what do you use to protect the surrounding areas from oversparay ?

Thanks.

if using a pressure sprayer do round the edges first with just a few pumps of the sprayer so that the spray fan is more controllable then up the pressure and do the rest

Just use any protective covering. Mask it or gaffer it off.

I told the customer would need to be bone dry before sealing, and it is a pain waiting around for the weather,
but I got this because she specifcly wanted the job sealing, so no sealing no job !     Have quoted a similar job, and got the sealing to do also, so will be a quick learning process  ;D
