Pine needles are killing my grass  

I have noticed that the new home I have moved to has a big old pine tree overhanging my terraced section. It would appear that the pine needles are killing off the grass. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Yes, the pine tree needles will be killing the lawn. The only solution is to remove the tree if you want to stop this happening. It is likely you would need an arborist to do this.
