Tired plants include: leggy hebes, faded choisya, woody lavender, faded red photina, brown scorched conifers and bare box balls.

Maybe you inherited plants from your previous owner.  You may never have really have liked many of them.  While its tempting to try to prune and to revive them.  Be brave,  remove and replace them.
