Picked by Darin Chamberlin. In 42 years of landscape contracting, Darin has worked hand in hand with roofers, plumbers, remodelers, tree crews and storm repair pros, because every outdoor project depends on the trades around it. This concrete store grew out of that work. It isn't a venture capital deal, it's gear Darin has seen get the job done.

A black hideaway two-way radio base unit with a short antenna and a green status light, next to a wireless handheld microphone

Featured: Picked by Darin

Midland MXT295 15W GMRS mobile radio with Bluetooth mic

Talk across a big pour, from the truck to the pump and the finishers, without yelling over the mixer. 15 watts (5-watt low setting), IP67 sealed against dust and water, automatic noise canceling, 22 GMRS + 8 repeater channels and 154 privacy codes, PA and intercom, and NOAA weather alerts. The hideaway base unit tucks out of sight and runs off a DC vehicle adapter.

Using GMRS in the US needs an FCC license: no test, $35 for 10 years, and one license covers your immediate family. Anyone outside your family needs their own.

global-ptt 5-pack 4G LTE / WiFi push-to-talk radios

Needs cell or WiFi coverage to work. Check the current price, coverage and platform terms on Amazon before ordering.
