A well-lit property is a safer property. For homeowners, landscape lighting prevents trips and falls while adding nighttime curb appeal. For businesses, lighting deters intruders and conveys professionalism, making customers feel at ease after dark. Viking helps you achieve both safety and beauty in one solution.
Beyond just making your property look good, quality landscape lighting offers measurable safety and security advantages. Illuminated walkways, steps, driveways, and entry points help prevent trips and falls — especially in low-light conditions or for guests unfamiliar with the property. Motion-activated lights can alert you to activity at night, and well-positioned lights reduce dark hiding spots that could be tempting to trespassers. According to Porch and RP Lighting, properties with thoughtful outdoor lighting see improved safety and reduced risk of accidents. porch.com+1
For businesses, this kind of lighting enhances perception as well — customers feel safer visiting businesses after dark, which can boost foot traffic and trust. Plus, lighting can help increase property value, curb appeal, and overall atmosphere. Articles from TimesUnion and Tru-Scapes also highlight how lighting paths, steps, and architectural features not only looks good but also serves an important safety function.
Polk County sees roughly 9.44 property crimes per 1,000 residents in a typical year, including burglary, theft, and vehicle break-ins. The violent crime rate is lower (about 2.227 per 1,000 residents), but property crimes make up a big part of safety concerns. CrimeGrade.org
According to mid-2025 Polk County Sheriff stats, crime in unincorporated Polk County and cities under contract has dropped by about 24.6% compared to the same period last year. While that’s great, property crime categories like burglary and larceny remain significant enough that many property owners use lighting as a deterrent and safety measure.

Also, Florida’s HB 837 / CPTED legislation now requires multifamily residential properties to have well-lit parking lots, walkways, common areas, and lighting from dusk until dawn (or via automatic systems like photocells) to meet safety design standards. Proper lighting is now part of what defines a safer property and can help reduce liability risks. ASIS International+1
