Stem Landscape Architecture & Design — Garden Design in Northcote, VIC

A great company to work with. Emmaline is a passionate young entrepreneur, keep up the good work, everyone.

Feb 2026

We briefed the team at Stem to undertake the design and execution of a large cliff top garden in Shoreham and the results have exceeded all expectations. Their creativity, passion and knowledge of plants just shone through and the care and thought that went into every detail was just so apparent. We are over the moon with the outcome and couldn’t recommend Emmaline and her team more highly.

I couldn’t have wished for a better garden than the one designed for me by STEM. Em really understood what I was looking for; a beautiful eco-friendly, wildlife-friendly, easy care, liveable garden. The first draft design she and Tom produced was exactly what I’d dreamed of. They really know what works and what looks good. On a dull, misty day, Em, Tom and Eglé planted out the garden. Despite the weather, it was exciting to see their drawings come to life. They explained what the plants were, and how to look after the garden, reassuring me that if I had any questions in the future, they’d be happy to answer them. The STEM team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and wonderful people to work with. And they produced a lovely garden for me, passers-by, neighbours and the local wildlife to enjoy.

This is a brilliant company full of passionate people who really know their plants and how to create beautiful, cohesive landscapes. Em came up with a fantastic design that addressed everything in our brief and guided us through the whole process. Tom helped bring it to life with plant selection and features that made the most of our space. A year later our garden is thriving and they are still happy to help whenever we have a query (I'm learning though!). Very happy to see them winning so many awards at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show this year - congratulations to the STEM team!

My partner and I moved into a new build and contacted STEM to help design and plant our garden. We couldn't be happier with the finished result, which is aesthetically stunning and eco friendly. We really enjoyed working with STEM and would highly recommend!
