Default Need a better way to prune the tops of a thick oleander bush

My wife loves the white flowers but it's crowding the driveway so I
have to lop off a foot or more to trim it back on the sides.

On the top, I just want it to look neat'ish.

The flowers are just starting.
Is now a 'good' time of year to trim them?
