The Groveton series consists of very deep, well drained soils on stream terraces. They formed in loamy deposits overlying sandy sediments.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderate or moderately rapid in the underlying material.
Slope ranges from 0 to 60 percent. Groveton fine sandy loam, on a 4 percent west facing slope in a forested area. Solum thickness ranges from 20 to 36 inches. Coarse fragments range from 0 to 5 percent by volume in the surface and upper part of the subsoil and from 0 to 14 percent in the lower part of the subsoil and in the substratum. Reaction ranges from slightly acid to very strongly acid in the solum, and from slightly acid to strongly acid in the substratum.
