A west Michigan boy who took matters into his own hands to fill potholes in his neighborhood is getting rewarded for his work.

12-year-old Monte Scott recently used dirt from his backyard to even out a street near his Muskegon Heights home.

He went viral after his mother posted a video of him filling potholes on Facebook.

He was rewarded for his hard work with a visit from neighbors and the mayor, along with gift cards and presents from all over, including Canada and Florida.

According to WZZM-TV, Scott now wants to get into landscaping and has been gifted yard tools, including a mower, from Lowe's.
