If you've gone a long time without any tree maintenance, there's the chance that the trees could have health concerns you may not be aware of. Checking if the trees have health issues, such as pests that your trees could be infested with or discoloration on the leaves that could mean your trees need more nutrients, should all be done by a professional.
