It is possible that it's getting too much water, but I'll bet the cause is elsewhere. What species of pine? Some are very robust and will survive anything, others not. Was it a balled tree? Did she buy it at Walmart parking lot? How long had it been out of the ground? Was it breaking bud when planted? Improper root trimming, improper timing, improper planting, failure to loosen the burlap wrap, and so forth. If the tree had its roots whacked off too much and had broken dormancy (that is, buds were starting to grow), that could be the real cause. Many fine roots are more important than a few heavy thick ones. What is the soil like? Is it agricultural soil (I'm guessing because of knowing you). If it's too heavy to clay, the pines might have trouble. They like a sandier soil.
