>Is it all the pine needles causing this?
Yeah, bro. Depends on the species but pine needles leech tannins and acid into the soil to make it hostile to other species. Consider how long it takes for a pine sapling to grow, the whole point is to stunt everything around them so their seedlings can get started. If you want to reclaim your yard mulch your leaves into a shaded compost pile, trim your pine tree's lower branches, and use a leaf-blower in the Fall after raking leaves to clean up the needles. In the spring rent one of those perforation machines, fertilize your yard, then plant a nitrogen fixing species like clover, and spread your compost over it. Let the cover crop grow without mowing for the better part of the season, then run the mulching mower over it and plant grass or whatever. Reclaiming land from pine species is a process that'll take a couple seasons but after you get other species established they'll fight the needles.
