Your mailbox is often the first thing visitors see when approaching your home. A custom brick or concrete mailbox not only adds curb appeal but also provides durability that standard mailboxes simply can't match. Here's what to consider when planning your new mailbox.
Popular Design Styles
Classic Column Design
The traditional single-column design remains popular for good reason. It's elegant, space-efficient, and works with virtually any home style. Add a decorative cap and address plaque for a polished look.
Full Enclosure Design
For larger properties or those wanting a more substantial statement, a full enclosure with built-in lighting and planter boxes creates a stunning entrance feature.
Matching Home Accents
We can match your mailbox to existing masonry on your home, including brick color, mortar style, and decorative elements. This creates a cohesive look that enhances your property's overall design.
Material Options
Clay Brick: Traditional and timeless, available in dozens of colors and textures. Excellent durability and requires minimal maintenance.
Concrete Block with Stucco: More economical and allows for custom shapes. The stucco can be painted to match your home's exterior.
Natural Stone Veneer: Premium option that creates a dramatic look. Can be applied over concrete block for cost efficiency.
Features to Consider
Lighting: Low-voltage LED lights illuminate your address at night and add security. We can wire for solar or hardwired options.
Address Display: Choose from cast aluminum numbers, carved stone, or illuminated address plaques. Reflective numbers ensure visibility at night.
Package Security: With online shopping booming, consider a larger design with a secure package compartment to protect deliveries.
Installation Considerations
A properly installed brick mailbox requires a concrete foundation below the frost line (about 6" in Florida) and should be set back appropriately from the road per local regulations. Our team handles all permits and ensures compliance with USPS requirements for mail delivery.
