Soil varied by location in South Carolina. The Sandhills Region directly along the coast the soil was heavily composed of sand and a little topsoil. The further inward the land was, the better the soil became. Along the coastal plains the soil was dark and fertile. It supported large crops of rice and indigo. The rich Inner Coastal Plain supported cotton crops. The Piedmont is in the foothills of the mountains and the soil was a mineral rich red clay.

There are between 250 and 300 different soil types (aka soil 'series') in South Carolina. The majority of these soil types are in a category of soil called the Ultisols. As with biology, there is a taxonomic system for naming soils. The broadest categories are called soil 'orders.' It may help to think of them in the same way as the different 'kingdoms' in biology. Almost all the soils in South Carolina are in the soil order of Ultisols. Other orders found in SC include Entisols, which are very young soils, found in SC at the coast and in river floodplains. Inceptisols are also commonly found in the mountains.
