Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: Pine pruning - will it produce new needles (greenery)?, 1 by kennyjacobs

This pine has grown outward over the grass/yard about 5 feet - If I cut off the main branches that have grown from ground level out over the yard, the branches behind them would have very little needles. Late winter (now in Colorado) is the time to prune if my research is correct, so I need to decide to prune or just remove. My question is - will the branches begin to grow needles again after I remove the outer branches?
