Please identify this bush and advise on pruning

I am new to AZ and have 2 of these bushes in my yard. They are trimmed into neat rounded shapes, so there are very few flowers. My preference would to have a more natural looking shrub. Can I prune these to open the centers and have fully leaved branches? I really don't care for the unnatural manicured look.

Since these shrubs seem to be everywhere in my neighborhood, perhaps I should just pull them out. I really liked the picture of the Texas sage that letsharmonize posted.
