Update after day one. 
I didn't realize the importance of the "elm" tree to the owner of this company. Please include the elm tree in future design concepts as that will most likely be picked. It is an American Elm tree and has that distinct shape as in the 3rd example.  Thanks.

I uploaded 3 logo rough ideas from the owner's wife, who is a designer. They like these directions, but didn't have the time to do the whole logo project. Ideally, I'd like a design where the mark will work above the text and on the left side of the text in a horizontal format.
