Brick Mailbox Design Options
The Brick Doctor pros can help you design a mailbox that best meets your needs and budget. Even the most basic flat-top brick mailbox can be a very handsome addition to your landscape, but you may want to consider several other factors relating to quality, style, and function.
In designing your brick mailbox, you may want to consider these optional features to enhance or personalize it to your liking:
1. Arched Top. A rounded shape on top may be best, usually designed to compliment or match an arched entrance or arched windows on the home.
Standard Arch.
A semi-circle shape made with saw-cut, pie-shaped brick in the radius.
Precision brick cuts are made with a diamond-tipped masonry saw, and allow more evenly spaced mortar joints, for a most professional look.

Eyebrow Arch.
A much flatter arch than a semi-circle, shaped more
like—you guessed it—an eyebrow!

2. Steeple Top. This shape comes to a point at the top, much like a gable on a house. Saw cuts are necessary for professional-looking results.

3. Projecting Courses. These can add definition to the structure at the top and/or bottom for added depth or interest.

4. Planter Boxes. These may extend on one or both sides to accommodate flowers or other plantings. The planter box section must have a concrete foundation under it as well.

5. Quoin Corners. One or more courses of brick that indent or protrude, to match the design of some homes’ corners.

6. House Numbering Options. Several numbering options are available to clearly identify your address.
Cast Stone Number Block
This is the most popular option, as it beautifully and permanently displays your house number in a most visible way for your guests or emergency personnel.
