Allegany County, Maryland · 150 mi / ~170 min from Kittanning
Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Frostburg, MD
Frostburg is the one Maryland town our crews already know by heart. We light the Tracks & Yaks railbike route here every season, which means the trailer is on Big Savage Mountain more often than the 150-mile drive would suggest. Homes and businesses in town ride along on those trips.

Frostburg sits about 150 miles and roughly 170 minutes southeast of Kittanning, up on the plateau where winter arrives early and stays late. Thraxel has been lighting the Tracks & Yaks railbike route here since the 2025 season, from design and install through operator training, a mid-season check, takedown and off-season storage. That contract puts our crew in Allegany County on a schedule, and we fill the open hours around it with residential and commercial work in town. Details at thraxel.com/railbike/.
For homeowners that means Frostburg consultations get grouped onto the railbike trips. You will not get a next-day visit, but you will get a real on-site walk, the driveway demo case with four live RGBWW strips, and a render of your actual house within 48 hours of the consult. Installs are batched the same way a few weeks later, with most homes done in 1 to 2 days.
The housing here is a mix of college rentals near Frostburg State University, brick and frame homes stepping down the Main Street hill, and newer builds out toward the ridges. Steep lots and a lot of exposed gable trim make roofline lighting read from a long way off. The Great Allegheny Passage runs right through town, so plenty of eyes pass your place on a bike.

Why Frostburg is different for us
Most towns this far out get a batched schedule and nothing else. Frostburg gets a crew that is already contracted to be here through the holiday season for the railbike route, which shortens the wait for service calls in December. The seasonal promise is unchanged: any Christmas lighting problem is fixed within 24 to 48 hours, free.
Elevation matters for equipment. Frostburg is one of the coldest, snowiest spots in Maryland, and we spec the same IP67 marine-grade pixels and 16-gauge wire that live on the trestles year-round. If it holds up on the rail line in January, it holds up on your fascia. Read more at thraxel.com/blog/holiday-lighting-frostburg-cumberland-md/ or call Tyson, 724-859-4390.
