I’m located in the Hudson Valley, NY (Zone 6b) and I’ve reached the point where I just want to rip everything out and start over. I’m looking for a "set and forget" situation: zero to minimal maintenance. This side of the house faces east so sub in the morning and shade in the afternoon.

Full disclaimer: I don't know anything about landscaping. I honestly don't know exactly what "look" I'm going after, but I know what I want the experience to be: no constant weeding, no intense pruning, and nothing that’s going to die the moment we have a weird New York winter.

Since I am a complete beginner, AI-generated pictures or visuals would be incredibly helpful for me to understand your ideas.
