Did I kill my lavender plants?

I have four lavender plants in my front yard. Two of them I planted last year. The other two are four or five years old. We are getting ready to sell our house and the realtor suggested I clean up the garden beds and remove old debris. I had never pruned lavender before. But, I cut it back to about six inches tall. This was before any spring growth. I just wanted things to look neat. I am now realizing that might have not been the thing to do? I did this with several plants including catmint and thyme, ornamental grasses and Salvia. Some plants look green, like the catmint. And some, like those big lavender bushes, just look dormant or dead... can I revive them?
