Is there a way to limit maxdepth for ls -Rhal?

These might help:

Use find's -printf, this will give the size of files in Kb, so not quite ls -lh:

find . -maxdepth 2 -printf '%M %n %u %g %kK %Tc %p\n'

Output:

drwxr-xr-x 4 terdon terdon 140K Tue 25 Jun 2013 04:52:17 PM CEST .
-rw-r--r-- 1 terdon terdon 64K Mon 24 Jun 2013 03:46:05 PM CEST ./foo.pdf

Explanation:

-printf format

      %M     File's permissions (in  symbolic  form,
             as  for  ls).   This  directive is sup‐
             ported in findutils 4.2.5 and later.
      %n     Number of hard links to file.
      %u     File's user name, or numeric user ID if
             the user has no name.
      %g     File's  group name, or numeric group ID
             if the group has no name.
      %k     The  amount of disk space used for this
             file in 1K blocks. Since disk space  is
             allocated  in multiples of the filesys‐
             tem block size this is usually  greater
             than   %s/1024,  but  it  can  also  be
             smaller if the file is a sparse file.
      %Tk    File's last modification  time  in  the
             format  specified  by  k,  which is the
             same as for %A.

             c      locale's  date and time (Sat Nov
                    04 12:02:33 EST 1989).  The for‐
                    mat  is the same as for ctime(3)
                    and so to preserve compatibility
                    with  that  format,  there is no
                    fractional part in  the  seconds
                    field.
      %p     File's name.

Use find's -ls option:

find . -maxdepth 2 -ls

Explanation:

-ls    True;  list current file in ls -dils format on
      standard output.  The block counts are  of  1K
      blocks,   unless   the   environment  variable
      POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte
      blocks  are  used.   See the UNUSUAL FILENAMES
      section  for  information  about  how  unusual
      characters in filenames are handled.

Use @mpy's suggestion (this is probably the best solution):

find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -print0 | xargs -0 ls -hal

Output:

Explanation:

-exec command ; 
      Execute command; true if 0 status is returned.
      All following arguments to find are taken to be
      arguments to the command until an argument consisting of
      `;' is encountered.  The string `{}' is replaced by the
      current file name being processed everywhere it occurs
      in the arguments to the command, not just in arguments
      where it is alone, as in some versions of find.  Both of
      these constructions might need to be escaped (with a
      `\') or quoted to protect them from expansion by the
      shell.  See the EXAMPLES section for examples of the use
      of the -exec option.  The specified command is run once
      for each matched file.  The command is executed in the
      starting directory.  There are unavoidable security
      problems surrounding use of the -exec action; you should
      use the -execdir option instead.

Is there a way to limit maxdepth for ls -Rhal?
