How can I fix a minimal maintenance bed in the front & sides of house?

We get full sunlight. Grass has taken it over (we just moved in). I love the look of Hostas but was told they are shade lovers.

some hosta can take the sun ....you just have to google.th ere is a hosta called francee hosta, it does well, as in i havent killed it yet
There are some hostas that are ok for the sun. the ligher color of the leaves means it will do well in the sun. You could also google "what kind of hostas can I plant in the sun"
remove grass, loosen soil, cover with landscape fabric. Buy basic, but inexpensive shrubs like azaleas (midsized when mature, spring flowering), rose of sharon (tall, summer flowering) and mix with evergreen low-growing shrubs like yew. This way you have spring and summer color and winter (green) color too. Plant the shrubs by cutting into the landscape fabric, digging hole, backfilling hole so no dirt remains on surface of fabric. Buy bags of mulch to cover the landscape fabric. Done!
