Your Trusted Source for Nursery & Landscape Supplies
General Cordage has served the agricultural industry since 1992, providing premium nursery, landscape, and grower supplies to professionals across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands.

Over time, our product offerings expanded significantly, and we now supply a comprehensive range of materials essential to the horticultural sector. Our commitment to quality remains unwavering, sourcing premium sisal from Brazil and maintaining rigorous standards for all products. We guarantee next-business-day delivery within Florida (excluding the Panhandle) for in-stock items, ensuring timely service for our customers.Our family-owned operation, continued by Rita, Thais, and Joe Eslick following Wallace Eslick's passing in 2009, maintains the same core values established at our founding: exceptional product quality, competitive pricing, and customer satisfaction as our highest priority. While our product range has grown to include tools from trusted brands like Felco and Bahco, wire baskets, safety gear, and specialized agricultural supplies, our focus remains on delivering the reliable, eco-friendly materials that growing and landscaping professionals depend on daily.
