This month it will begin Spring in Austin!


Spring brings SXSW. Dates are March 9th – the 17th. These dates may be useful to attend south by or to know when to leave Austin.


Free passes are available to parts of South by and they get you into a lot of free events and shows. “Guest Passes” are available @
https://guestpass.sxsw.com


Spring in Austin also brings rain to our fair green city – 
The City of Austin is offering rebates  on residential & commercial irrigation systems, water timers, development of “rain-scapes” & rain water harvesting systems! https://www.austintexas.gov/watershed-protection/rebates-free-stuff-grants 


Speaking of which metal roofs are the best for rain water collection. Metal roof panels are slick unlike shingles which can allow granules into the system. All metal roofs are well suited for collection and there are a lot of styles and colors to choose from. 

 
Rodeo Austin  is back! March 10th – the 24th All the mutton bustin' & rodeo you can handle along with over 100 livemusic performances like Gladis Knight, Ludacris, Dwight Yokam &Kevin Fowler https://rodeoaustin.com/ 
 

The best and last events happen at the end of March.  Happy Easter & Passover  as we welcome back our Beautiful Texas Blue Bonnets!

When rain hits your roof, it doesn’t just slide straight down, it follows the natural channels formed where two roof planes meet - roof valleys.
