Built for East River Stump Removal · Hull, IA

What we take out

Stump work is the specialty — but if a tree's already down, dying, or in the way, that comes out too. Then the ground gets cleaned up and filled, not left as a crater.

01 Stump grinding & removal Ground below grade so it's gone for good — one stump or a whole fence-line. The core service.

02 Downed & unwanted trees Storm-dropped, leaning, or just in the wrong spot — cut down and cleared.

03 Ash tree removal The dead and dying ash coming down all over the county — taken out before they drop on their own.

04 Cleanup & haul-off Grindings, brush, and wood cleared so the yard's usable again — not a mess left behind.

05 Dirt fill & grade The hole backfilled and raked level, ready for grass or whatever's going in next.

Why East River

A small operation, on purpose.

You call, we answer

No dispatch, no runaround. The person on the phone is the person running the grinder.

Left level, not cratered

We fill and grade the hole. You get usable ground back, not a new project.

Clean haul-off

Grindings and brush go with us unless you want the chips. The site looks better than we found it.

Local to Hull & Sioux County

Home base is Hull. Short drives mean we show up when we say and keep the price honest.

Meet Dalton De Haan

East River Stump Removal is owner-run out of Hull. When you call, you're talking to the person who'll be standing in your yard with the grinder — not a call center, not a crew you've never met.

That's the trade-off a small local outfit offers: you get someone who cares that the ground's left level and the site's cleaned up, because his name is on it and he lives down the road. Straight answers, fair estimates, and the job done when we said it would be.

— Dalton De Haan, owner

Everything below is the build brief.

Scope, timeline, the wholesale quote, and the design system behind East River's mockup above. The site the customer sees ends at the estimate form; this section is for the people deciding whether to build it.

What we'd build East River

A small, fast, secure site on the modern stack — a Next.js front-end on Sanity, hosted on Cloudflare — the same build behind your Hawarden Chamber site, the first one we shipped on it. Looks and works like a normal site; Dalton edits his own photos, pricing, and hours through a simple browser editor.

Scope — the few pages they asked for

Home / About with pricing & details — hero, services, why-choose-us, owner story, all on one scroll (they asked for as few pages as possible).

Work gallery — before/after photos Dalton uploads himself in Studio; no developer for a new photo.

Free-estimate form → straight to their inbox, spam-filtered (Turnstile), no backend for them to manage.

Sticky "Request a service" CTA — front-and-center, stays visible on scroll (their explicit ask).

Local SEO — "Found on Google" — LocalBusiness schema, NAP, service-area towns, fast mobile Core Web Vitals, so "stump removal near Hull / Sioux Center" finds them.

Google Business Profile setup + a review-request link — the biggest local-map lever, and they have none yet.

Copywriting — they flagged they need a copywriter; page copy is written for them (this mockup's copy is a first pass).

The questions you'll get

How much does this cost us?

~$1,500 to build, then $20/mo for hosting & care that we run for you. You set retail on both and keep the margin.

How long until it's live?

About two weeks of working time once content and approvals move — they have no deadline, so pace is flexible.

Does the client own it, or rent it?

They own their content and domain — it's a standard, exportable format, no lock-in. The care plan is service, not a rental.

Why not WordPress?

No public login page, no database online, no plugin stack to patch — the attacks that take down most small-business WordPress sites have nothing to target here, and it's faster. Same pitch as your Modern Website Offering.

Can Dalton edit it himself?

Yes — photos, pricing, hours, all through Sanity Studio in the browser. He clicks Publish; the change is live in a couple of minutes. Same Quick-Start guide we wrote for the Hawarden Chamber build.

The system behind the page

One idea runs the whole page: a stump's growth rings — cut once, left level. It's the favicon, the section marks, the hero, the gallery frames. Natural materials, no nature-cliché stock, simple — exactly the brief.

Palette — the bone / bark / forest world

Bone

Bark

Forest

Heartwood

Moss

Warm kraft ground, deep-bark darks, their muted logo green, one reserved amber for the rings. Natural, never neon.

Type — Newsreader & Plex

Ground flat.

Hauled clean.

Plex Sans carries the body copy — plain, readable, unfussy, the way a straight-talking local outfit sounds.

Plex Mono · 01 — ring-count labels

Brand-mark concept

East River Stump Removal

Cut-log mark + wordmark. A concept to refine with their real logo green — not a final mark.

Voice

Plain, direct, done-when-we-said. "Ground flat. Hauled clean."
Personal — the person you call does the work.
No buzzwords, no "premium tree solutions," no nature-cliché stock.

You know us — Intense Visions has built your client sites for years. This one moves to the modern stack: a Next.js + Sanity + Cloudflare build, like the Hawarden Chamber site — the first we shipped on it. You keep the client and the brand on the door; East River would be one of the early ones.

Fast & secure by default — edge-hosted on Cloudflare, no WordPress attack surface.

Client-editable — Sanity Studio so their team self-manages content.

White-labeled — this demo flips to your branding + retail pricing on request.
