Why Valdemārpils' small scale means a close connection to the countryside

Valdemārpils is a small town with a rich history - until 1926 it was known as Sasmaka, and its present name honours Krišjānis Valdemārs. This modest scale means a close relationship with the surrounding rural properties of Talsi municipality, rather than the dense urban fabric of a bigger town.

Historic German and Yiddish place names reflect the small town's layered past - in the oldest part of town we carry out digging work with a degree of caution, though conditions here are generally simpler than in larger towns.

That's why in Valdemārpils we often work both in private house gardens within the town and on the neighbouring rural properties - both share the same Talsi municipality soil character and typical scope of residential earthworks.

Valdemārpils consists mostly of single-family homes and low-rise buildings within a small administrative area - the centre and the shores of Lake Sasmaka form the main concentration of buildings, and the town's scale is local, with low density even by comparison with other small towns.

The closeness of Lake Sasmaka locally affects moisture and shoreline conditions, and in this low-rise setting individual gardens and access roads matter a great deal. Seasonality is low to moderate - this is fundamentally a local market with a modest summer uptick in coastal transit traffic, since the town lies on the route between Talsi, Dundaga and the Roja coast.
