Also a 2ft high wall has a fair amount of pressure behind it, so it will always try to slide or fall over.
If I was doing it I would build a proper retaining wall, either rock, steel posts in concrete and timber
or something stacked with broken concrete paths etc.
It will need drainae holes to ensure water does not build behind it
I agree with you, but it's entirely dependent on the amount of slope. My land has a very slight slope, so I just laid branches in a pile along the bottom edge and left it. All the leaves, soil, dead plants, etc. washed down there, or were moved by the wind, and leveled the area without me doing anything. A 2 foot wall may have a tremendous amount of pressure, or almost none.
