Also wondering if some companies will let me pay on an installment plan

You're talking about the dregs of society who couldn't do anything else other than climb a tree with a chainsaw. They don't offer financing

I'm in Frisco Texas had an almost dead Live Oak taken down in the front yard just off the driveway so easy access. Highest quote was $2000 paid $800 including stump grinding.

Do you want them to cut it down in installments?

How big is it? How close is it to the house? Will a crane be required? Sooooo many factors in this.

Find a company who is already in the neighborhood. They're always stopping by. /s

Neighbor across the street went with the cheapest guy.

They dropped a tree on his house.

They weren't insured.

Homeowners insurance wouldn't cover it.

Nothing was in the "business owners" name, not even the trucks they arrived in.

Of course the guy who dropped the tree on their house "knew a guy" who could fix the roof... yeah that didn't happen either. They did end up getting a new roof, expanded their front porch but they had to pick get a loan for it.

Don’t get James the narcoleptic tree cutter LINK

In all seriousness tree removal isn’t something you really want to pinch pennies on. Get a legitimate company with good equipment to do it. I would guess just based on having several trees removed from my yard that one oak with easy access and stump grinding will likely be 1500-2000. I recently went with a well known tree removal company on the north shore and couldn’t have been more pleased with the results.

All of their equipment would be mine.

Another quote I got was over $3000
