Do this if you want to kill the oak trees... oak roots need to breathe.
That is only true for specific types of oaks generally found in the western areas of the country. The majority of oaks will be fine.
But it is a requirement (4" bare minimum) if the goal is to grow grass under the canopy. If not, then no grass which was the original question.

I put a couple inches of mulch (left over from some stump grinding activities) around a 15” red oak in my yard last year. It may have killed it. I raked it away when it was clear that the tree was in trouble. It’s not looking great but may survive.
