I have and acer and a magnolia that were planted a long time before I had even a passing interest in gardening and were put in to fill the gaps. 

They now overlap into each other on a shallow border and I’m wondering if it’s best to move one?

    I would leave them where they are.You can always prune if they get tangled but I like to see things growing together,more natural than seeing them as 'seperate' shrubs  :)

    I agree with madpenguin. I think they look fine. Before the photo came up I thought you meant much closer than that.
