I just had a concrete pad poured in front of my garage, so my kids can play basketball. How long should I wait before I drive on it?

Don’t let concrete’s quick-hardening tendencies fool you—to make sure your concrete has a chance to reach at least 90% of its strength potential before you put too much weight on it, you need to let it set for at least seven days before you drive on it.
If you have a particularly heavy vehicle, like a big pickup or an RV, you should keep those off the new slab for at least three weeks.
