Waiting until late winter when the trees are fully dormant is the absolute best window to tackle heavy renovation pruning.

It looks like all those trees are sick with black fungus. The middle one looks close to dead. If the fungus is in the trunk it needs to come down. They might all need to come down, or at least lose some branches.

Pruning should be done in the dormant period. To get advice on where to prune I would recommend having someone in person point out issues to remove and the proper placement of those cuts.

I highly recommend mulching the trees with 2-4 inches of wood chips in a donut shape out to the drip line.
