Some light trimming on evergreens and prune the maples back after the sap has run down.

My opinion... It's never too late to trim evergreens. I would wait to cut back maples until cold weather sets in for a while, as in January.
I don't think it's too late, especially with the warmer weather we've been experiencing.
