Hi, I'm KJ.

Christopher Kjeldgaard, owner of CKJ Ag Services

"KJ"
Born + Raised · 209

I help people reclaim properties that have been left behind.

I was born and raised in the Central Valley here in California. I come from a big family with seven biological siblings. Growing up, there wasn't much room to stand still — you learn pretty quickly how to multitask, work hard, and show up for the people around you.

I was raised on 88 acres, and my work ethic started young. At 14, I was riding my bike to clean horse stalls, earning what I could and learning the value of putting in an honest day's work. That's where it all started for me — understanding that if you want something done right, you show up and get it done.

Today, I help people reclaim properties that have been left behind — whether they're inherited, overgrown, or filled with years of clutter. I specialize in demolition, hauling, and full property cleanups, as well as fencing and metal fabrication. I don't just clear spaces — I help people reset and move forward.

I work alongside a network of reliable local contractors, stepping in to help with property cleanups and selective demolition as needed. Whether it's clearing out specific areas or helping prep a site for the next phase, I focus on getting the job done efficiently, professionally, and with attention to detail.

I've always preferred small-town living and being part of a tight-knit community. Places like Oakdale mean a lot to me, and I take pride in giving back whenever I can. I've donated my time to major home makeover projects and stay involved in community efforts whenever the opportunity comes up.

I move fast — but I don't cut corners. Do the job right, treat people fairly, and leave every property better than I found it.

If you're looking for dependable, honest work and clear communication from start to finish, I'd be glad to help bring your property back to life.
