How pine needles help pine tree conserve water?

Trees lose water through transpiration (the passing of water vapor to the atmosphere). Pine needles are waxy, have a small surface area and have a groove in which the stomata are located. These features reduce transpiration.

Can excessive sprinkler water do damage to pine trees?

It is possible to keep the roots of some pine trees too wet. (They can drown.) And a lot of water on the bark isn't a good idea as it promotes rot and some other nasty things. In their natural settings, a lot of pine trees don't get that much "standing" water around them, nor do they get much water on their trunks. Their branches are generally designed to shed preciptation. Find out what kind of pine you have and do a bit more web browsing, consult your local nursery man (who specializes in trees) or return to WikiAnswers with a more specific question. Certainly if you have a university close, inquire with them about any arboreal assistance they may be able to provide. Some communities have a professional or "resident" arborist who can help. The city parks people should know. Good luck with you landscaping efforts.

How deep do pine tree roots grow into the ground?

The important thing to note here is that all trees have root systems that extend horizontally at the soil surface, shallow, and wide, spreading several times wider than the width of the canopy. Most of the roots are found within the top few inches of soil, rarely extending deeper than 12 inches. The further away from the tree, the more shallow the roots are. Most trees start out with some sort of "tap" root. However, most trees tend to "lose" their deep roots as they grow. Conifers, especially pines, are generally an exception. They still have a vast and wide surface root system, but do grow a large tap root, which is esentially a downward extension of the trunk. It tapers quickly. I have dug pine tap roots out of the ground with excavators. At a certain point, it either breaks or you make the decision to cut it. The bulk of it is about 4 to 5 feet down, tapering rather quickly. I have seen tap roots over 12 feet long, tapering to a straw-size. I have had to cut large roots that seemed to never end. I suspect the limitation would hinge on soil type, water levels, oxygen levels, and soil density. I see no reason why a pine tap root wouldn't grow to 20 feet or more if conditions were right. But, remember the important surface roots before you go to trench.
