The ground moves, so the base has to be solid
Central Texas soil swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry. A brick mailbox sitting on dirt rides that movement and starts to lean or crack. A proper concrete footing below the surface keeps it level for good.
Freeze and weather take their toll
Water that gets into a poorly built mailbox freezes and works the brick loose, the same way it does on a chimney. Solid construction and good joints keep the weather out and the mailbox tight.
Match it to the house
The detail that makes a brick mailbox look right is matching the brick or stone and the mortar to your home. Done well, it looks like it was always part of the property — not something added on later.
