I recently bought my first house and I noticed some rot happening beside our garage door. It appears that when the cement driveway was poured, they got too close to the siding and now water is wicking up into the wood. I figure I can cut back the siding and replace it but how do I stop this from happening again?

I would replace it with something that doesn't rot, like Hardie Sierra 8. It's expensive, but if installed correctly it'll last forever.

It’s ABSURDLY expensive. Just do vinyl.

Vinyl has the same curb appeal as a toothless meth addicted prostitute.
