Hi Cory,
It isn't clear from the picture that you posted which trees you are referring to, and what type of trees they are.
Have you recently planted new trees in the yard?
Please tell us a little more about your situation so that we can try to offer you advice to best meet your present needs.
From your picture I only see 1 tree that is behind the person operating machinery, the tree in the center-may or may not be inside the yard-can't exactly tell. Also, I can't tell what kind of tree(s) it is or the condition(s). The rest of the yard appears to be bushes and weeds.
Please repost a close up picture of your trees and concerns. If you need more help locally, contact your county's extension office or a tree service. They can send someone out to help you.
I clicked on the word "trees" in your question and it linked to Vienna Tree Service Landscaping, perhaps they are providing a service to you?
Are you having a problem with your trees? Or are you thinking mostly of preventing problems?
They may need some trimming/shaping. Remove any dead branches and any that cross over another branch. Here's a link on caring for mature trees:

Hello. Here’s a link that could be helpful and your tree care management. If you have specific concerns about insects disease or possible suspected disease problems on your leaves please try to be more specific. I hope this helps
Additionally your local Cooperative extension can answer specific problems usually a sample of the plant material can be brought to the office.

You can take a few leaves of the trees you want to take care of to a garden nursery for ID. Write down the names and ask how to care for them. Once home, google the tree name and "growing and care information" for more guidance.
Remember that the "working" part of the tree is below the ground. Make sure you use organic chemicals when treating for insects and parasites. Feed them in the spring and fall - there are commercial and DIY foods you can mix up. Trim dead wood as necessary. Do a bit of research on how that's done - so you don't hurt the tree. Check the bark to make sure it isn't splitting. If it is - check the internet for a possible cause and treat that. Also, determine the species of each tree to determine it's specific needs. Oh, and plant more! Enjoy.
Take photos or leaves over to your trusted local garden center and ask someone there what kinds of tress you've got. Talk with them further about how best to care for them or have an arborist come by to take a look.

I would visit a local co-op or nursery. You can have your soil analyzed to see what is missing.
