I made a couple of revisions to the last design. I widened the chimney in hopes that it looks more like a chimney than a smokestack, and I used the same sized square to suggest a tree trunk instead of just using the triangle. It SORT of suggests a door or a window (I may have just hurt myself reaching for that...lol) I also eliminated the black, making the whole icon a single color with negative areas.

I don't think you need the chimney at all. The icon without the chimney could be read as a house or as trees, which is what you're trying to achieve (I think). All the chimney does is unbalances the icon.
I was thinking that, myself, actually, and was in the process of removing the chimney...lol
Agree with keefer. Still not there but - again - I think you've taken another step forward. The angles seem a little harsh to me - more tree-like than building-like. Try to find a happier medium with that and some way to customize the text to make it yours. The mark can be larger too, imo - maybe the length of the green text would work.
Good job.
Have you tried keeping the chimney and trees, reversing to green and losing the green box?
Plus I would justify the mark with the green words.
