How to install landscape border block on a slight slope

I'm installing landscape block as a border on the side of my house. The house is 24' wide. The area I'm running the block slopes from the back of the house to the front. Over the 24' the land slopes 19 inches. The block are not acting as a retaining wall, simply a border. I'm going to mulch about 5' out from the house up to the border. The block are 12"L x 4"H x 4"D. If I make the top of the block at the highest point level with the top of the block at the lowest point I will have 5 block at the bottom of the slope. Since the area I'm mulching slopes the same I would have to fill that in 19". I would rather not do that. Will it look ok if I just use 1 block high (possibly 2) the entire distance and just gradually slope each block? Is there an easy way to setup a string to follow to make sure I'm sloping each block about the same? Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you
