Would have been nice to keep it all as lawn, but that's the challenge with sloping blocks! A small retaining wall would be good. Rocks - they are not cheap are they. Most of the cost is actually the transport of them. See if you can get them out of gumtree, often cheaper.

If you want the big feature boulders that is a different (and expensive!) story as you need the machinery to move them around site and get them off the truck e.g. excavator with a "claw" attachment or similar.
