Stüting was the son of the court photographer Louis Stüting . He completed an apprenticeship as a garden technician. 1897 he was appointed Higher Gardener educational institution Köstritz ( paréage Reuss-Köstritz , Thuringia ) and horticulture teacher. There he was appointed gardening inspector in 1900. In Köstritz, Stüting published numerous articles between 1901 and 1904, including in landscape gardening and garden technology , a “magazine for horticulture and garden art” and in garden art . The main topics there were questions about technology and the use of plants. In 1903 his book "The plan drawing for the budding landscape gardener" was published. In a competition for the King Albert Park , today's Stadtpark in Markranstädt , he took second place; At the International Art and Horticultural Exhibition in the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf , he showed his design for a modern villa garden .

Stüting went into business for himself and settled in Barmen in 1909. In a front garden competition in Barmen in 1913, Stüting was a member of the jury. For the cemetery of honor in Ohligs in 1914, he submitted a plan for a facility in which (as was common at the beginning of the First World War ) fallen soldiers were to be stylized as heroes. His company designed and built gardens, parks and cemeteries and dealt with gardening. He also ran a plant trade and a flower and wreath making business. Stüting was early active for the parks in Barmens. In a two-part article for the professional public in 1898 he described the facilities of the Barmer Beautification Association . He himself was involved in the expansion of the Barmer facilities in the Fischertal. In 1900 he presented his park project for the Hohenstein in an article in the journal Die Gartenkunst . He received the order for the gardens of the municipal hospital in Barmen, which was inaugurated in 1911 .

At the beginning of the war, Stüting campaigned for the citizens to be self-sufficient in view of the food shortage and founded the allotment garden movement in Wuppertal . Various companies in the city took part in his horticultural exhibition on the Hardt , which was supposed to promote the management of the gardens. Following his insistence, private individuals and the city made land available for allotment gardens.

Arthur Stüting was actively involved in professional organizations. Since 1897 he was a member of the Association of German Garden Artists and later a member of the Association of German Garden Architects . The Association of Independent Landscape Gardeners in the Bergisches Lande eV and the Association of German Flower Shop Owners District Group Bergisch Land commemorated him in an obituary notice. He was involved in the establishment of local associations such as the Barmen horticultural association and the Bergischer Landschaftsgärtner association, the latter of which he chaired until 1927.

Arthur Stüting died unexpectedly of a stroke in 1927 at the age of 55. He was married to Elly Stüting, née Job. The Lord Mayor of Barmen Paul Hartmann dedicated an obituary in which he paid tribute to Stüting's services to the allotment garden movement in his hometown. Today the street Stütingsberg in the Wuppertal district of Hatzfeld is named after him.
