Texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam or loam, but pockets or lens range from loamy sand to silty clay loam in the fine-earth fraction. Structure is granular or platy or the horizon is massive. Consistence is very friable to firm. Some pedons may have redoximorphic features. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral at depths above 6 feet.
Weak stratification is common in most pedons.
There are no other series in the same family. The Brookfield, Cheshire and Maplecrest soils have 5YR or redder hue in the B horizon. Buladean soils have a Cr horizon and have rock fragments dominated by crystalline gneiss and granitoids. The Cardigan, Chatfield, Ditney, Hazel, Lordstown, Marrowbone, Steinsburg, Stinger, and Yalesville soils are 20 to 40 inches deep to bedrock. Chadakoin soils lack weak stratification in the substratum.
