Don's comments are on point ...
If you are going to elevate the base of the vertical, go ahead and
put in 60 or so normal quarter wave radials in the ground. THEN
install four "flat" elevated radials at 10' or so (plenty of room
to walk/mow/etc. under). The in ground radials will reduce the
ground losses while the elevated radials will provide the electrical
"return" for the antenna ...
