Brown needles on Pine Tree

All of the needles on one of our pine trees have turned brown. Does this mean that the tree is dead or is there something that can be done to save it?

Hi roger, if this is an older tree (not recently planted) I would guess it is dead. There are numerous reasons why it died, depends on a lot of details ie. what kind of pine, soil conditions etc. sorry for the bad news. Sandy
