Uh, no. That's 4 inches of relatively tightly packed, wet leaves.
Not to mention that, not being affixed by their roots to the ground,
the mower tends to just push them to the side, rather than riding
over them.

I'm not saying that mulching them up isn't a fine idea when
appropriate - that's what I do in my front yard, where I only
have a couple of maples, and there's only an inch or so on the
ground. But short of having a mower with 5 inches of ground
clearance, mowing and mulching simply isn't an option.

You must have funny trees. They dump 5" of leaves at a time.!

Where I live, the leaves sail gently to the ground...then the next
one...then the next one. lol


Have a nice one...
