Alexandra Gonzalez
Landscape Designer

Alexandra Gonzalez has a knack for mixing the oil and vinegar varieties of the plant world and getting them to exist in harmony. Pairing unusual plants to create unique planting combinations is just one of her specialties. She has been a landscape designer since 1998 and draws from vast knowledge of local soils, microclimates and understanding of irrigation. Her strength, she feels, comes from years of practical experience with horticultural installations and landscape design in the San Diego area.
Her enthusiastic love for plants inspires designs marked with diverse plant combinations that lead to unusual and dynamic vignettes.
Alexandra takes advantage of San Diego’s exceptional climate in bringing together the unique and exotic to add an individual look to any landscape theme, whether cottage garden, tropical or avante garde. “San Diego’s climate affords the use of a vast percentage of the world’s plants, explains Alexandra.
Working with a client’s desired effect in mind and keeping within traditional frameworks, she infuses seldom-used plants to create an individual touch for her clients. “Your landscape doesn’t need to look like your neighbors’,” she advises.
Alexandra has a bachelor’s degree from USD and regularly takes ornamental horticulture and arboricultural classes at Cuyamaca College.
