Yes, Chelo's Brick & Stone builds masonry mailboxes, driveway entrance columns, and gate posts in brick or stone. They're smaller jobs than a wall or patio, but they still get a real footing below the frost line so they don't heave, lean, or crack apart over time.
A masonry mailbox or column looks simple, but the same physics that affect a full retaining wall apply to it on a smaller scale. Without a footing set below the frost line, water in the surrounding soil freezes and expands each winter and slowly pushes a shallow post out of plumb. We set every column and mailbox on a proper footing, the same way we would on a bigger project.
Most of these get built to match something else on the property, brick that echoes the house's brick, or stone that ties into a retaining wall or patio nearby. We can run conduit through the column during construction if you want a light fixture or house numbers built in, that has to be planned before the masonry goes up, not after.
These are often one of the smaller, stand-alone jobs we take on, a single mailbox column or a matched pair at a driveway entrance. There's no project too small to get a proper footing and a straight, plumb build.
