Continue this pattern until you have completed the first course all the way around the concrete footing. Repeat this process of laying brick ensuring a layer of mortar is applied at the end of each brick or stone before setting it in place. Next, gently place the first brick or stone onto the existing bed of mortar along the footing. Start by laying a fresh bed of mortar around the top perimeter of the concrete footing. On separate occasions, it may be best to find a relatively close matching brick or even mix up a combination of brick and stone that compliments the home’s exterior finish. Many times homeowners are left with stacks of extra brick after their house is completely built allowing for the new brick mailbox to perfectly match with the surrounding exterior. It’s important to search around for the best looking brick or stone that will closely match the surrounding architectural design of the front elevation.

Now that the foundation is set we will begin the brick and stone construction starting with the bottom course and working our way upwards towards the top.

The use of a leveler is crucial throughout the mailbox construction process and will ensure your new structure stands up straight and in proper alignment. The foundation should be a minimum of 4” thick and 24” x 24” square to allow for the most structural integrity. Negating this essential step will easily allow for sinking, settlement, and ultimately a leaning mailbox that looks unsightly. All structures start with a solid foundation that allows the mailbox to stand upright and straight for many years to come. Now, it’s time to pour a concrete footing or foundation after cleaning up and hauling away the remaining debris.
