Thank you ...yes I have tried Bunnings, Mitre 10 etc. I found some places that do custom ones but they are in the USA and the postage makes the cost too high.

I would consider a small retaining wall perhaps 2-3 planks high this will provide support to the bank but also allow the pathway to remain clear and formal. The ferns seem to be doing well but could do with a tidy up. I would also prune the tree so it allows a bit more light into the section to help prevent dampness, you also want to take it away from the house, without destroying it's natural shape. As ferns seem to naturally want to grow there, you could continue that theme. Perhaps some other shade / cooler temperature type plants with some flowers could be a good addition. I am not sure which plants can tolerate the cold Dunedin winters, so you best contact is your local garden centre. You want plants that are lush all year round. Also have a look at other plants growing in the neighbourhood as that will give you a good idea of what does and doesn't do well in your climate. Good Luck.

Hi all, Any recommendations for the most basic simple house builder? I just want a decent size house for the best price possible. I dont care about landscaping, driveways etc. I just want a prefab home or a easy build done on a section of land. Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated.
