How to limit depth of reply comments in laravel - php

Question

I can create unlimited reply comment by recursively. This thing can be terrible because my web looks ugly.
I want the user just can reply the comment maximum 3 depth of reply comments so if the depth has more from the maximum depth the comment not create nesting again.
Here is my code that I can try so far, in blog.detail.php to show comment
#include('nested.replies', ['comments' => $post->comments, 'post_id' => $parameter, 'depth' => 0])
and in replies.php
#foreach($comments->sortByDesc('created_at') as $comment)
<?php
$parameter = Hashids::connection()->encode($post->id);
$parameter2 = Hashids::connection()->encode($comment->id);
?>
<ol class="comments-list display-comment">
<li>
<div class="comment-box clearfix" >
<div class="avatar"><img alt="" src="{{ asset('frontboard/images/avatar.png') }}" /></div>
<div class="comment-content" id="reply?{{ $parameter2 }}">
<div class="comment-meta">
<span class="comment-by">{{ $comment->user->name }}</span>
<span class="comment-date">{{ $comment->date }}</span>
</div>
<span class="reply-link" stle="padding-top:-220px;">
<p>{{ $comment->body }}</p>
#if(Auth::guard('member')->check() && Auth::guard('member')->user()->active == 1)
#if(Auth::guard('member')->user()->isBan == 1)
<span class="reply-link">
Blocked
#else
{!! Form::open(['method' => 'DELETE','route' => ['comment.destroy', $comment->id]]) !!}
{!! Form::submit('delete', ['onclick' => 'return confirm("Are you sure?");','class' => 'btn btn-danger btn-xs pull-right'])!!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
Reply
{!! Form::open([
'route' => ['reply.add', $post->slug],
'class' => 'showActionComment',
'data-parsley-validate'])
!!}
#csrf
<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('comment_body') ? 'has-error': '' }}">
{!! Form::textarea('comment_body', null, [
'name' => 'comment_body',
'class' => 'form-control',
'placeholder' => 'Write Something.. ',
'required', 'minlength="4"'])
!!}
#if($errors->has('comment_body'))
<span class="help-block">{{$errors->first('comment_body')}}</span>
#endif
{!! Form::hidden('post_id', $parameter) !!}
{!! Form::hidden('comment_id', $parameter2) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="submit" id="postBtn" value="Add Comment" />
<input type="button" class="btn1 btn-warning" value="Hide" />
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
#endif
#endif
</span>
</div>
</div>
#if($depth < 3)
<ul>
<li>
#include('nested.replies', ['comments' => $comment->replies, 'depth' => $depth + 1])
</li>
</ul>
#endif
</li>
</ol>
#endforeach
we can see the replies on here
#if($depth < 3)
<ul>
<li>
#include('nested.replies', ['comments' => $comment->replies, 'depth' => $depth + 1])
</li>
</ul>
#endif
I think this code not working properly, because it still executeS nesting comment..
