Most of Grandview sits on Warden silt loam, NRCS soil maps show. NRCS describes that ground as deep and well drained, but dusty when dug. City standards also say storm runoff from a new lot has to stay on that lot. Both shape how a Grandview lot should be dug and graded.
Bedrock Excavation and General Contracting does excavation in Grandview for homeowners and businesses. Grandview is part of our service area, about 7 road miles southeast of Sunnyside by the Yakima Valley Highway. Here we handle site preparation for new homes and shops, and we take down old buildings. Call or text (509) 439-2533, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

NRCS soil maps put Warden soils under nearly all of the main part of town. Most of it is Warden silt loam, with some fine sandy loam. The soil formed in a thin layer of wind-blown silt over old lake-laid sediments. A small share maps as Sinloc silt loam, which NRCS classes as somewhat poorly drained.
NRCS rates Warden silt loam not limited for homes with basements. It rates the same ground somewhat limited for shallow excavations, because it is dusty. For local roads, it rates the soil very limited, because frost can heave it. On silt like this, our shop pads and camper pads start with a leveled cut and a compacted gravel base.
That dust matters in a valley this dry. NOAA's Sunnyside station, about 7 miles away, averages 7.65 inches of precipitation a year. The Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency's dust policy covers site preparation across Yakima County. Where a site could raise significant dust, it asks for a dust control plan 15 days before soil work starts.
Inside city limits, building permits go through the city's Building Department. Its service directory lists demolition and fence permits there too. The city's detached garage and shed packet says even a small shed needs a permit. Up to 120 square feet, that permit carries no fee; bigger ones need a standard building permit.
The same packet caps a detached garage or shed at 15 feet tall and one story. It must sit at least 10 feet from the house. It can cover no more than a quarter of the rear yard. Most residential zones also cap total lot coverage at 35 percent.
Pole buildings have their own checklist. The city asks for stamped plans and calculations for permitted post-frame buildings. Its building packet adds that pole buildings need hole inspections before concrete goes in.
Grandview runs two water systems. The city maintains its own irrigation system, with water bought from the Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District. Drinking water comes from city wells. The city's 2025 water quality report names the Columbia River Basalt Group as the main source.
Washington's dig law calls for an 811 locate request two to 10 full business days before the dig starts. The utilities then mark their lines. Lines you own, like a power line to a shop or a private irrigation line, are yours to find.
Storm water has its own rule here. The city's 2023 construction standards say runoff from new lots must stay on site. It may not run onto public property or into city storm drains. Our lot grading slopes the ground so water runs away from the house.
Grandview keeps adding people. The Census Bureau estimated 12,062 residents on July 1, 2025, up from 10,907 at the 2020 Census. Washington's Office of Financial Management put the city at 12,280 on April 1, 2026.
New homes follow the people. Census permit counts show 139 new single-family homes during 2024 and 151 during 2025. A 276-lot subdivision plan for Forsell Road, on land then farmed for hops, went before the city during 2025.
Grandview has room for commercial work too. The city's economic development page lists two Port of Grandview sites, Wallace Way Industrial Park and Byam Business Park. Both are zoned light industrial, within about a mile of I-82. Sites like these are where mass excavation comes in, with big cuts and fills and dirt hauled in or out.

We cut and fill large sites and move dirt in bulk for shops and commercial buildings. Extra dirt leaves by the load, and we haul in fill or gravel when a site runs short.

We clear and strip the lot, then rough grade it and dig for the foundation. After the foundation is poured, we backfill around it.

We regrade worn gravel driveways and build new ones. We also grade yards and lots so water moves away from the house.

We cut and level building pads for shops, garages, houses and campers, with a compacted gravel base. When you want a concrete slab, we pour that too.
