Francesco Saltarelli is a Montreal-based landscape designer and entrepreneur known for transforming outdoor spaces into refined, livable extensions of the home. As the founder of Saltarelli Outdoor Design, he specializes in high-end residential landscapes, rooftop terraces, and urban green spaces that blend elegance, functionality, and a strong connection to nature. Born and raised in Montreal to a family of Italian heritage, Francesco’s appreciation for landscape and craft began in his grandfather’s backyard garden. There, he learned firsthand the patience and care required to cultivate living spaces—tending grapevines, tomatoes, and basil, and discovering the satisfaction of creating beauty by hand. These early experiences laid the foundation for a career rooted in thoughtful design and respect for the natural environment. After studying horticulture and landscape design at a local college, Francesco worked with established landscaping firms across Montreal, gaining experience in construction, project management, and client collaboration. In 2014, he launched Saltarelli Outdoor Design with a clear vision: to create outdoor environments that do more than look beautiful—they enhance daily living and invite people to spend meaningful time outdoors.
