Begin by roughly placing the carpet landing piece in its designated area. The critical first step is to carefully line up the front edge of the carpet landing with the previously installed carpet stair treads.

After the bullnose and front edge are properly aligned and snug, proceed to press down on the remaining surface of the carpet landing. Use your hands to smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles, pushing them towards the edges. The presenter notes that it is acceptable if a few small bubbles remain, as carpet can often relax and flatten out over time, especially with regular foot traffic. If the carpet requires further adjustment to be perfectly straight or to achieve a better fit, you can gently lift an edge and give it a slight tug to reposition it, without causing damage to the material.
