The solum thickness ranges from 15 to 30 inches and corresponds to the depth to stratified sand and gravel. Depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches and is mainly several hundred feet. Redoximorphic features consisting of concentrations of iron oxides occur between 18 and 30 inches of the soil surface. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 to 35 percent in the A horizon and from 0 to 75 percent for individual layers in the B and C horizons. Rock fragments are mainly gravel of granitic origin with up to 20 percent cobblestones in the B and C horizons.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid through moderately acid throughout.
The A horizon has hue of 5YR through 10YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is loam, fine sandy loam or sandy loam. Structure is weak or moderate, fine or medium granular. The AB horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2 or 3. Texture of the fine-earth fraction is loam, fine sandy loam or sandy loam.
