Reduce to an orderly state by clipping, etc (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trim

(Other definitions for trim that I've seen before include "Make neat and smooth by cutting, say hair" , "Shorten" , "Neat - prune" , "Cut neatly; light haircut" , "properly organised" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
