The Pachysandra we planted in the shade for ground cover next to the house a few years back may be doing too well.

We have a full basement, with window wells about 18" deep, and cement block foundation walls, cement covered on the outside.

The Pachysandra along one side has grown up close to the house and touches all the way up to the lower edge of the painted cedar siding. It has also almost reached across the window well on that side of the house.

Should I trim the Pachysandra back away from the siding? I'm comfortable that the cement basement wall is in no danger, but the siding may suffer.

I posted this question yesterday on a home repair forum, no responses. Perhaps gardeners are a better source of expertise. Thanks,
