LAND INTELLIGENCE — MOORE COUNTY, NC

Soil Intelligence in Moore County, NC

Soil intelligence reads the USDA SSURGO record for a parcel — map units, drainage class, and hydrologic group — and translates it into what it means for drainage, building, planting, and septic-style questions, with the survey version stated.

What this looks like in Moore County

Soil intelligence matters in Moore County because Sandhills sand behaves nothing like the Piedmont clay most buyers are used to: it drains fast, which is generally kind to septic-style questions, but it also dries out quickly — irrigation demand, planting survival, and nutrient loss are the trade-offs the SSURGO record quantifies. The report names your parcel's actual mapped units, drainage class, and hydrologic group from the current survey, so a Pinehurst lot and a Carthage acre are read as the different soils they are, not from a generic sand chart.

Common questions

Is this a perc test?

No. SSURGO is mapped survey data, useful for screening and planning. A perc test is a field procedure by a licensed soil scientist.

Why does hydrologic group matter?

It drives runoff estimates — group A sands soak water in, group D clays shed it. It changes drainage and irrigation design.

Which survey version do you use?

The report names the SSURGO survey and version it was checked against, with the date.

Data evaluation from public records and modelled analysis. Not a survey, not a legal zoning determination, not an engineering design. Modelled drainage is MODELLED, NOT SURVEYED. Every report is human-reviewed before it is sent.
