    I used the good weather to tackle the front flowerbeds. I'm still not sure that I've sorted the one by gate.

    Your pic of front flower beds, those two shrubs next to the fence, with large brown seed heads on top are Hydrangeas, and now is the time to prune them

    However, beware, there are different types and it's not just chop / hack them back, you will need to DYOR, Youtube maybe good start

    If you get it wrong the plant will live, but no flowers this year

    FWIW yours look like bog standard lace cap or mop heads so strait forwards with a bit of attention to detail
