Out from all the years of neglect, I have decided to take over my parent's garden. just to be honest, i'm very new to landscaping and I'm not sure where to start. I need help and suggestions to bring this garden back to life.

I have started weeding out both areas next to the stoop. the area gets morning sun and mostly shade through out the day. I was thinking about adding hosta, but I wonder if there's more blooming flowers and plants that takes most shade.
the only 2 areas that gets full sun is on the side of our house and the front of the yard, even tho, the front area has almost everything in it, little trees, vines and weeds. so it's going to take some time to rip them all out, but i need to be careful on the day lilies.

I took pictures for everybody to get an idea, I'm sorry that it's a mess. this is one of the reasons why i want to take over and make our garden look attractive again.

any suggestions?
