In Facebook when i place my site URL the image does not load?

It loads some generic image or logo but not other image thats related to the page. Is there any Tag we need to add in the website so the image loads?

Is it good to use a tag as this for description?

property="og:description" content="Some data" />

Which platform are you using?  If it doesn't work you could make your own button using an image of your choosing with a live link to your Facebook page, or use one of the buttons Facebook supplies in their Developer section  Many sites now very easily give sitewide social links but I have heard that some users are being penalised for this.  I have taken mine down and manually apply social links in a few appropriate places instead of using the built in systems which often spam your whole site with unnecessary links.

If you want to control your image in Social Media you need to include these tags, you don't need all of them if you are only interested in one platform

Once you have them on the page and filled out, you will need to tell Facebook or Twitter to update the markup with this tool

As others have said, there are a few ways to tackle this but all involve improving your schema so it adheres to the Facebook Open Graph standard (http://ogp.me/).  If your site is a Wordpress site (or other CMS), there are some simple ways to set this up.  Then, when you place a link to your site in the Facebook post, the correct image and information is pulled in automatically.  This can have a great impact on your professional appearance so it's recommended that you do take care of it.

That said, let us know what kind of site you are working with and maybe we can offer some more specific directions.
